Evac Group Launches New Sustainable Waste Management Solution for Superyachts

Evac Group, a leader in sustainability technologies and solutions, launched Dehydro, an innovative onboard waste management system designed for superyachts. Using dehydration technology, Dehydro transforms wet waste into a sterile, dry powder — reducing approximately 80% of wet waste volume. 

Dehydro aims to help eliminate the need for additional treatment and simplify offloading on vessels that produce between 50 and 1,000 kilograms of wet waste per day. The solution also looks to help superyachts meet evolving environmental standards, including compliance with MARPOL Annex IV and Annex V regulations. 

“Direct discharge of untreated waste poses a serious threat to aquatic life by depleting oxygen levels. Most onboard waste treatment systems require high volumes to be cost-effective, leaving superyachts without viable options,” said Björn Ullbro, CEO of Evac Group. “With increasing regulatory pressures, owners are calling for more innovative and sustainable solutions to the challenge of onboard waste treatment and storage.” 

Dehydro also reduces emissions associated with transporting offloaded waste by up to 85% compared to landfilling, while extending equipment life with high-quality reject water requiring little treatment. Evac’s waste management systems are installed on more than 20,000 vessels worldwide.
