Waste-ability at KAFD – largest installation in the Middle East region

Unlike traditional waste management systems, where waste is manually collected, placed into a compactor, and collected via trucks, Envac’s flexible system is connected to all areas in the district.

160 waste inlets collect waste from 2 different fractions, general and recyclables. Furthermore, the waste is automatically collected from 16 public litter bins on the Wadi pedestrian boulevard. An estimated 140 tonnes of waste is collected daily and transported through the underground vacuum pipes to the collection terminal. Here, the waste is then stored in sealed containers, which are removed from the site once full.
