About us
Our History
EVAC Environmental was formed in 2003 initially to provide a service for the car wash industry, installing and servicing water recycling systems for car wash bays.
The City of Melbourne’s Value of Hospitality Study 2011 found that Melbourne food services had increased from around 12 per cent in 2003-04 to almost 22 per cent in 2009-2010. This rapid growth in market share highlighted the competitive advantage of the sector within the city. At the same time, increasing demands for businesses to comply with their trade waste obligations. Evac Environmental soon ventured into liquid waste collection from commercial kitchens to provide a responsible solution for grease trap waste collection.
Today, EVAC Environmental offers comprehensive waste solutions through installations, repairs, odour control, and monitoring for commercial business. We have further expanded our services to include plumbing, facilities management, and waste management solutions to address the growing needs of businesses across multiple sectors. We are committed to educating businesses on complying with trade waste requirements and reducing the potential hazards that can arise from overlooked waste and plumbing fixtures, which can cause significant harm to patrons, staff and the environment
We remain true to our code of ethics of being: Ethical, Environmental and Responsible.
