Envac boosts recycling and saves space in
An Envac pneumatic waste collection system has been embedded into the construction of the new Wembley Park residential area, which has optimised the use of valuable urban space and increased recycling rates fourfold.
The Envac system has optimised the use of space in central London by avoiding the need for conventional waste collection infrastructure involving bins and collection trucks. When fully complete, the system will save the space of around 2,000 traditional waste containers, the equivalent of around 200 car park spaces, to allow significantly more space for resident amenities.
“The system uses around 15% of the space required for a conventional waste collection system, which has freed up more space for greenery, amenities, shared social uses for residents and potentially more units”
“In fact, the system has saved around a third of a football pitch of valuable space to date. This presents the developer with opportunities to offset the installation costs of the Envac system – while benefitting from lower operational costs throughout the lifespan of the system.”
The Envac system has been operational since 2008 and was around 75% built out at the end of 2020. By 2025, around 24,000 residents will use the system in Wembley that will handle up to 6,000 tonnes of waste and recycling per year and remove an estimated 700 tonnes of vehicle collection emissions from the local environment.
