Quality of life
At Envac, we are committed to improving people’s quality of life – both today and for the future. Our waste solution has a visible impact on the places where people live and work, making communities cleaner, greener and safer.
Minimising emissions
Energy efficiency is essential for combating climate change, since it significantly cuts down on both direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from fossil fuel use and indirect emissions from electricity generation. Envac’s technology and automation helps facility and infrastructure managers save energy and minimise emissions.
Resource circularity
Envac is making it easier for people to turn waste into worth. We are helping cities across the world make it simple for their citizens to change behaviours and get involved in achieving climate and recycling goals with solutions such as, Optical Sorting and ReFlow, that supports resource circularity.
Business responsibility
Envac is committed to ensuring that both our employees and external partners operate responsibly and safely. Guided by corporate governance policies and principles, our approach to business responsibility rests on three key pillars: fair and ethical business, ethical supply chains, and healthy, safe workplaces.
The preservation of the environment in cities and the improvement of the quality of life in urban environments are two of the most important challenges that public managers will have to face in the next 30 years. Addressing them will require collaboration among all citizens in addition to technological innovation.

Maximising Efficiency: How optimised facilities reduce energy and costs
Envac Automation Platform (EAP) is an outstanding tool for optimising the performance of waste collection facilities. Its configureability and advanced analytics make it possible to significantly reduce energy consumption, improve fraction purity, minimise downtime, and boost capacity—ultimately delivering superior economic outcomes.
Majadahonda, Spain - Improving environmental sustainability and a community’s quality of life
The City of Majadahonda, outside Madrid in Spain, was an early pioneer in providing sustainable public services to both residents and businesses. As early as 1999, the city council implemented its first Envac system. Since then, it has launched five pneumatic waste collection centres to provide more efficient, sustainable waste management for its growing population.
ReFlow drives waste reduction and recycling at Stockholm Royal Seaport
The Stockholm Royal Seaport project — Sweden’s largest urban development — has reimagined a former industrial port into a modern, emissions-free community. At the heart of this transformation is a comprehensive Reduce, Reuse & Recycle initiative that has revamped waste
management in the area.
