Real value for building owners and developers
We offer game-changing pneumatic waste collection solutions that create added value for building owners and developers around the world.
Added value
Management approach
As the global urban population continues to grow, we are faced with increasing liveability challenges in cities around the world. Envac’s pneumatic waste collection systems can be a significant part of the solution that add value for building owners and developers by promoting more efficient and cleaner waste collection solutions that require less space.
How we do it
By 2050, urbanisation around the world will have increased by 40%. Around 2.5 billion more people will live in urban areas that will generate 50% more waste than they do today.
This will involve major challenges for cities, building owners and city developers. Finding more urban space and the solutions to decrease traffic will be essential.
Urban waste management goes digital with ReFlow
Having pioneered waste management solutions for six decades, Envac ReFlow is our latest game changer. ReFlow is a digital communication tool that allows communication directly with each resident served by an Envac system and provides them with feedback on their waste management habits.
The solution promotes resident commitment to recycling, and contributes towards the circular economy by reducing waste and connecting people to be part of the shared economy. It also helps to monitor and reduce neighbourhood greenhouse gas emissions.

Freeing up valuable urban space
An Envac automated waste collection system requires less space – both within and outside of the terminal for waste handling. This leads to freed up space that a building owner or developer can use for additional development space or other value-added uses.
The saved space outside can be used to create more green areas, value-adding businesses or services that improve the quality of life for residents. This adds value for building owners, city developers and local residents.
Going forward
Envac solutions add value to a neighbourhood, such as by creating opportunities for more green spaces, and additional amenities or additional residential units. Our products also contribute to less noise, odours, vermin and heavy traffic in residential areas – all of which improve quality of life for residents and visitors to the neighbourhood.
“Following our recent pilots, we knew that ReFlow would be the perfect digital solution to enable the Järfälla Barkarby municipality to engage with residents on recycling”
