Smart waste, ENVAC
The document discusses a GrowSmarter project that aims to implement integrated waste collection infrastructure in European cities. Specifically, it presents on smart waste collection technology that transports waste through underground pipes to a central location, turning the waste into energy. The technology was tested in a residential area with 300 households in Stockholm, reducing waste truck traffic by 90% and CO2 emissions by 70%. Results and plans for replicating the system in other cities are also summarized.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Introduction -We all know how it is . Stinky waste trucks congesting the streets, collecting trash from overfilled bins, in the streets, narrow alleys or poorly maintained rooms -Can you imagine…. A city without waste trucks?
- #4 2) What did you do?
- #5 3) What did you learn? -Secure the infrastructure. All the way from the scrap to a new product, like these shoes from Veja -It is important to understand juridical restrictions about who can collect and where the waste goes go (city vs. private companies)? -Smart waste handling increases recycling rates, resulting in a positive environmental impact. Incentives to and feedback from tenants are important to evaluate and improve the measure as well as foster acceptance.
- #6 4) What are the results/conclusions? -Waste Traffic down 90% -Unsorted waste down 66% -Occupied space up to 70% reduction -CO2 reduction up to 70% -Energy consumption of the current installation can be substantially reduced by simple means, which will even further reduce CO2 emissions and operational expenses. -Less space for waste handling means more public space. Also means more shared recreational spaces. congestion was minimized overall. -All this means an increase in the quality of life. -Quality of food waste: high -Quality of packaging fractions: medium
- #7 5) What are the replication plans? -The solution of smart waste handling in Stockholm is being show cased to clients on the global market. China & SG (with tweaks: design, weighing solution, and user interaction is most important) -Site Valla Torg will be extended with 50% more apartments within 2 years. -Envac is doing further development of the concept to increase reliability, reduce energy consumption. -Envac has established a cooperation with “Locallife” and discussions on launching their products as a complement in both Qatar and Singapore are in discussion. An incentive/feedback system to increase recycling. -Economy of scale is achieved for areas with an existing sorting facility and recycling industry. Otherwise costs and benefits escalate proportionally to the area covered by the service.
