Promising outcomes for “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” initiative in Stockholm Royal Seaport

Promising outcomes for Reduce Reuse Recycle initiative in Stockholm Royal Seaport
Sustainability

The Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Stockholm Royal Seaport project has reported significant progress in its second phase. Focused on improving recycling and waste management in the Royal Seaport area, the initiative utilises Envac ReFlow, a digital platform integrated with pneumatic waste collection systems, to encourage better sorting practices and reduce residual waste.

The project has exceeded its initial goal of engaging 25% of households, with 35% now participating. Surveys conducted in 2024 revealed 80% of users are satisfied with the service, over half feel more motivated to sort waste accurately, and 67% have adopted new recycling habits. Waste composition analyses show a 19% reduction in incorrectly sorted packaging and newspapers, alongside improvements in plastic waste and recycling accuracy.

Future plans include expanding participation and conducting further studies with the Royal Institute of Technology to assess the initiative’s long-term impact on resident behaviour and sustainability in the Stockholm Royal Seaport.

Klas Leksell, Head of Service and ReFlow Lead at Envac Sweden, said: We are very pleased with the positive results from the Envac ReFlow project in Stockholm Royal Seaport. That 8 out of 10 users are satisfied with the service, and that over half of the residents in an area already known for its sustainability focus now report improved waste sorting, clearly shows that the technology makes a difference. We also see quality improvements in waste sorting, particularly with plastic packaging and reduced food waste. This indicates we are on the right path towards more sustainable waste management and increased recycling.
