Supercool

Garbage trucks have gone missing in cities around the world. In neighborhoods from London to Barcelona and Singapore to Seoul, their unmistakable sight, sound, and smell are notably absent. The reason? Trash has gone underground, whisked away through a hidden network of pneumatic pipes—no trucks, no noise, no stench. If this sounds like the future, it is. But this particular slice was invented in the 1960s by Swedish company Envac. The company’s CEO, Joakim Karlsson, joins Supercool to discuss how Envac is taking trash removal to a whole new dimension.

What is Supercool?

Low-carbon innovations are scaling. But innovation alone doesn't win markets. Adoption does. Each week, climate entrepreneur Josh Dorfman talks with the founders, CEOs, and executives who win customers, grow revenue, and capture market share—by making their low-carbon solutions the industry’s preferred choice. Without adoption, the clean energy transition falters. With adoption, we build the low-carbon future. Supercool reveals how we get there.
