The target is a region Östergötland without fossil fuels in 2030. This was the main political factor for the municipality of Linköping to choose optical sorting.

Eskilstuna was early with household waste recycling. With the higher demands of The National Goals the municipality introduced optical sorting.

The plant is sorting five fractions and it is combined with a pneumatic waste collection system.

Majadahonda, one of the most important cities in the community of Madrid. Already in 1999 the City implemented it’s first Envac system.

Today Vitoria has 6 pneumatic waste collection systems – the last taken into operation in November 2020. The Arretxabaleta system covers the needs of 34,800 dwellings, the equivalent of 107,200 inhabitants.

During the summer, when this popular tourist spot is crowded 24/7, the system transports approx. 60 tonnes of waste per week without any vehicle having to drive into the crowds to get it out of the area.

After an environmental programme was drawn up for Hammarby, including rigorous sustainability targets and specified the most innovative environmental solutions, Envac was appointed to install the pneumatic waste collection system.

By opting for pipe-based waste collection instead of traditional bin-based collection, Bergen has become a global trailblazer.

Considering the limited space for more bins and the amount of heavy transport in Oslo the choice fell on optical sorting.
