The Reduce, Reuse, Recycle project in Sweden’s Norra Djurgårdsstaden (Stockholm Royal Seaport) is delivering fantastic results in waste reduction and recycling improvements, and we’re thrilled to share the outcomes of its second phase! Thanks to the Envac ReFlow application-based service, which digitalises and enhances the waste collection system, residents have been able to reduce their residual waste and improve recycling habits.
A groundbreaking study from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) reveals that automated, hermetically sealed pipe systems for hospital waste disposal and handling dirty laundry can significantly reduce the amount of bacteria in hospitals compared to traditional hospital waste management methods.
The report showcases its steadfast commitment, impact, and progress in promoting sustainable cities by providing innovative automated waste collection solutions. Envac highlights the positive difference it can make across four key areas: quality of life, minimising emissions, resource circularity, and business responsibility.
Published article in Bauwelt Magazine: For over fifty years the Swedish company Envac has been manufacturing pneumatic systems that transport garbage bags through pipes underground to a collection point. The promise: more cleanliness, less traffic, less environmental pollution. Mattias Widell, Head of Strategy and Business Development Envac North Europe, explains how the system has developed since the 1960s – and how it can also be implemented in Europe’s old cities.
The company will deploy its technology in the New Artois Metropolitan Hospital in Lens and the Lariboisière – Fernand-Widal AP-HP Hospital in Paris. With these new contracts, and once the new pneumatic waste collection systems are operational, Envac will have equipped six hospitals in France with their technology.
“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” aims to fundamentally change waste management by implementing a new IoT-based infrastructure. This infrastructure integrates recycling, reusing, and the sharing economy across an entire city district. The project is also unique in size, and it focuses on behavioural science research. Envac is one of the collaborators in the pioneering research project initiated by Stockholm Vatten och Avfall, Sweden’s leading water and waste company.
