在过去的60年中，恩华特将气动垃圾收集系统带到了全球20个国家及地区，重塑了全球超40个城市的垃圾收集策略。而如今我们全球市场足迹又将添上新的一笔。日前，恩华特赢得了位于冰岛首都雷克雅未克的综合性医院项目- 冰岛国立大学医院Landspitali医院新院（以下简称“NLSH”）的合同。而这也标志着恩华特正式入驻冰岛，将服务于冰岛更多的医院项目。

NLSH 项目旨在扩建其标志性的、历史悠久的冰岛国立大学医院Landspitali医院。每年大约70%的冰岛新生儿在该医院出生，医院历史可追溯到1930年。

恩华特系统将为NLSH的100,000平米新院区综合管理一般垃圾、干可回收垃圾及医院被服的收集。此外，恩华特还将负责将该系统应用于医院现有的50,000平米院区，并将新旧两院的系统连接贯通，进行垃圾和被服的整合收集。

该项目建成后，整套系统每年将处理2050吨一般垃圾和158吨可回收垃圾。据估计，此举将进一步提高医院的卫生标准，减少传染病和病毒的传播，并将收集约2190吨医院被服。

NLSH基础设施发展总监Ingolfur Thorisson表示:“我们的目标是建设一个现代化的医院，不仅能高效地为当下的病人、员工和访客服务，而且还能为多年后将使用医院的人服务。恩华特在医院的垃圾和被服收集系统方面拥有无与伦比的经验。看到他们在世界各地不断增加的医院项目，我们就知道我们找对了合作伙伴。”

恩华特高级销售经理Magnus Sjöstrand补充道:“随着我们继续应对全球大流行病的影响，气动垃圾收集技术能带来的好处日益显著。将垃圾储存在封闭的管网中，并通过气流输送至末端收集站，是一种显著降低传染病的方法。这也是一种实用的节省空间策略，也因此，NLSH现在将能够分配更多的额外空间来提供基本的医疗保健服务。”

恩华特集团首席执行官Joakim Karlsson总结道:“选择恩华特, NLSH朝着未来几十年的医院环境防护迈出了一大步。Landspitali医院在创造卓越的医疗环境方面已经证明了自己的领先地位，新院区NLSH的建立必将为医院书写新的传奇。我们非常自豪被选中，很荣幸受到冰岛的欢迎，并期待在NLSH医院辉煌而悠久的历史上谱写新的篇章。”

NLSH预计将在2027年全面建成，成为可持续医院设计和技术的前沿。

ENVAC WINS MAJOR ICELANDIC HOSPITAL CONTRACT

Envac, the pneumatic waste collection system that is shaping smart cities’ waste strategies worldwide, is about to make a permanent visit to Reykjavik’s main hospital after winning the contract to install its technology in the New Landspitali Hospital (NLSH).

NLSH is building an extension of the iconic and longstanding Landspitali Hospital, The National University Hospital of Iceland. Around 70 per cent of Icelandic children are born at the institution, which dates back to 1930.

The decision to appoint Envac will see the Swedish-based firm’s globally renowned technology manage three waste fractions including general waste, dry recyclables and hospital linen across a newly built extension covering a 100,000m²_. Plans to connect up to 50,000m² of the hospital’s existing buildings to the system are also underway.

On completion the system will handle 2,050 tonnes of general waste and 158 tonnes of recyclable waste each year. It is thought that around 2,190 tonnes of hospital linen will also be collected in a move that will further increase the hospital’s hygiene standards and limit the spread of infectious diseases and viruses.

Ingolfur Thorisson,Director of Infrastructure Development at NLSH, comments: “Creating a contemporary hospital that will not only effectively serve patients, employees and visitors of today, but also those who will use the hospital many years from now, is our ultimate aim. Envac has unparalleled experience of installing this technology within hospital environments, and with its growing portfolio of hospital installations around the world we know that we’re in good hands.”

Magnus Sjöstrand, Senior Sales Manager and Care Products Specialist at Envac, adds: “As we continue to manage the fallout of a global pandemic, the benefits of pneumatic waste collection technology have never been clearer. Containing waste in a secured pipe network and transporting it via airflow is a way in which to significantly limit infectious diseases. It’s also a practical space release strategy, as NLSH will now be able to allocate more of its additional footprint to delivering essential healthcare services.”

Joakim Karlsson, Envac’s CEO, concludes: “In choosing Envac, NLSH has taken the step towards futureproofing its hospital environment for many decades to come. Landspitali Hospital has proven itself to be in the vanguard when it comes to creating exceptional healthcare environments and the inclusion of NLSH will only build on this legacy. We’re incredibly proud to have been chosen, delighted to be welcomed by the Icelandic community and look forward to playing a role in writing the next chapter in the hospital’s long and successful history.”

NLSH is expected to be at the forefront of sustainable hospital design and technology when it is fully built in 2027.

About Envac

Envac is the global market leader in the automated waste collection industry. We help create smarter and more sustainable cities by providing environmentally friendly systems for efficient resource recovery.

The immediate effects when changing from manual collection to Envac’s system are that heavy traffic and emissions can be reduced by up to 90%, the street environment becomes quieter and the waste disposal procedure cleaner and safer for the user.

Envac developed and launched the pneumatic system in the early 1960s. Today it is used all over the world in city centres, residential areas, hospitals and airports. For coming generations Envac’s technology will be a matter of course. Waste transportation is removed from the streets to an underground pipe network and becomes a part of the urban infrastructure, like electricity, water and sewage. The systems are self-learning and equipped with artificial intelligence for optimisation of operation and energy consumption.

Envac AB, with head office in Stockholm, Sweden, have 35 offices in 20 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America.

Envac is a fully-owned subsidiary of Stena Adactum AB, a company in the Stena Sphere, Sweden.
