beginning to shift opinion towards a system that not only improves
local environments, but also costs less to run than multiple
collection trucks operating all day, every day. Alex’s appointment
is essential in growing the business in line with growing demand
for AWCS and we welcome him to the team.”
The appointment comes as forthcoming sites in London, and
even Hampshire and Buckinghamshire, opt to move away from
traditional bins in favour of a waste collection solution that
releases space, reduces waste collection vehicle traffic and
improves the sustainability credentials of a development.
Work on Barking Riverside’s collection station, which is due to be
commissioned towards the end of March, is nearing completion.
The system, which will replace 19,000 traditional bins with
only 460 Envac waste inlets connected to an underground
network of pipes that transport waste, via airflow, from inlets to
the collection station, will be the biggest in Europe when fully
operational.
Dave Buckley, Managing Director at Envac UK, comments: “We’ve
been communicating the benefits of AWCS over traditional bins for
some time and now, ten years since the first system was installed
in Wembley, we’re beginning to see the message resonate with
local authorities and developers not just across London, but
across the country.
Alex adds: “It’s a really exciting time to be joining the business. I

gains further acceptance and the UK market for AWCS develops.”
“Developers now understand that the space saved by using
an underground pipe infrastructure can be used for further
commercial development and this, combined with the fact that
fleets upon fleets of bins is no longer a feasible solution, is
There are now over 1,000 Envac installations worldwide across
a number of regions and countries including Scandinavia, the
Middle East, Singapore and South Korea.
