Welcome to
Cities
Improving the environment and the well-being of people by offering safer, cleaner and more intuitive and sustainable solutions for urban waste collection.
Reshaping the city
Today, the people living on only two percent of the world’s landmass, in the city, is responsible for most of the world’s carbon emissions and energy consumption. With a rapidly increasing global urbanization, the pressure on our climate and resources will only get worse unless we do something.
We provide game-changing, smart, and sustainable waste collection systems that improve quality-of-life and measurably reduce the city’s impact on the environment, improving the city’s image, brand and attractiveness.
With the Envac system, waste handling becomes an integrated part of the urban infrastructure, just like water, sewage, or any other service provided by the city. As the demand for recycling and zero waste increases, so does the need for waste rooms and recycling stations as well as frequent collection and routes for collection vehicles.
In contrast, our waste inlets are automatically emptied and the waste is transported out of the area in underground pipes. This saves bin space inside and outside the buildings and reduces the need for collection routes. The freed-up space can be used for green areas, pedestrian walkways, and bicycle lanes, or smaller businesses, bike repair shops etc.
The Envac system is hermetically closed. Our inlets can be fitted with contactless technology to make the disposal safe and hygienic. System operators does not have to enter the area to get the waste out.
This way, our system provides safer working conditions for cleaning staff, resulting in fewer injuries and disability leaves.
Outdoor disposal point
The inlets, one for each type of waste/reclables, are placed close to the building for comfort. The easier it is to dispose of sorted waste, the more will be sorted.The sealed system removes foul smell and can be placed close to residential buildings, making littering a
thing of the past. Our system reduces waste collection traffic and the noise, emissions and pollution
associated with it by up to 90%, making city life greener, cleaner and more sustainable.
Waste inlet
The waste inlets are connected to an underground pipe network that transports the bags from the inlets to the waste collection station.
Waste disposals point
The indoor waste disposals points can be placed on each floor or in the entrance hall.
Vertical storage chute
This is where the bags are stored until the chute is reaching full level. Sensors in the chute send a signal to the waste collection station and an emptying circle is started.Powerful fans, in the station, create an airflow in the pipes. Transport air is let into the system.
Waste collection station
The waste collection station is located as far away as possible from the apartments, ideally close to a mainroad.
With Envac there is no longer need for trucks to drive up to each building to collect household waste, it is
collected at the terminal building only.
The area becomes less noisy, the street environment safer and the air cleaner.
Containers
Full containers are taken to the recycling center and returned empty.
Litterbins
Self-emptying litterbins can be connected to the system.
Fans
Powerful fans create an airflow in the pipes.
Pipes
The bags are transported to the collection station at 70 kph.Air inlet valve
The Air inlet valve let transport air into the system at signal from the control system.
Available
24/7/365
The resilient system is part of the smart city’s infrastructure and available 24/7/365.
Diverter valve
The diverter valve directs the bags to the correct cyclone and container.
Cyclone
In the cyclone the transport air is separated from the bags.
Air outlet
The transport air is filtered before being released.Valve
The valve opens on signal when system is pressurized.Reducing traffic and emissions
Conventional waste collection leads to a lot of heavy collection traffic. Trucks have to go into residential and commercial areas to collect waste at the buildings. With the Envac system, this is not necessary.
Our waste inlets are connected to an underground pipe network that transports the waste to a collection station as far as 2 km from the inlets. At the collection station, the waste is stored in large containers, collected only when full. The whole operation from inlet to container is managed by Envac’s smart automation platform.
All these features combined means that the Envac system help reducing heavy traffic and associated emissions with up to 90 per cent in the area. Traffic jams, noise and unsafe street environment related to collection traffic are avoided. This makes our system a natural choice when making the city smarter, cleaner and more sustainable.
Commercial waste
Businesses, from retail shops to single office buildings and hotels, benefit from connecting to our system. It is also installed in large scale operations like university campuses, industrial parks and amusement parks. For destruction of confidential documents, a shredder is incorporated.

AI-powered technology
We continuously collect operational data to further optimize the performance of the Envac system. Using Artificial Intelligence, we make sure that our waste collection is streamlined and sustainable, reducing both emissions and cost.

In operation 24/7
The system is robust and reliable, collecting waste 365 days per year. It is not affected by strikes, weather conditions or pandemic situations.
Projects
Our innovative waste collection system helps shape smart and sustainable cities. By reducing emissions and providing clean, green and sanitary waste inlets for both residents and commercial actors, we want to improve the quality-of-life in the city.
