I am sorry my answer can be misleading. The wave function and the density also depend on the environment, but the point is that PP does not recompute them, it just reads them from the saved wfc files and plot them. PP instead needs to recompute the potentials
to plot them and this is where the missing environ makes the results meaningless.

Dear Antonio,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for reporting this issue and for trying Environ for your simulations. I am afraid the documentation of Environ needs to be improved on the point that you report, as this is not the first time I see this question. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Environ is not coupled with the PP code. If PP is used to plot quantities that do not depend on the environment, such as the wavefunction, the density, etc., it should work fine. However, you cannot use PP to plot quantities that depend on the
environment, namely the electrostatic potential. For this purpose, you can turn on the verbosity of Environ using the verbose keyword. If you set verbose = 2 (or higher) you should get some .cube files that you can use to visualize properties of the simulation
cell, in particular the electrostatic potential. Cubefiles are read by many programs and can be processed relatively easily with scripts.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any problem with running Environ. You may also consider joining the google group created to support Environ users, there are not too many discussions right now, but it would be nice to build a collection
of known problems, solutions and suggestions. <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgroups.google.com%2Fforum%2F%3Fhl%3Den%23!forum%2Fquantum-environ-users&data=02%7C01%7Coliviero.andreussi%40unt.edu%7C3c06ec5dcb694d44a47808d82d8d85ee%7C70de199207c6480fa318a1afcba03983%7C0%7C0%7C637309433157998728&sdata=XZ0wiRMNB71T%2BZ%2BGqBqVIuVJb4gQ2FQwBgnJs%2BjgaFA%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/quantum-environ-users" shash="PwsquwRaToQituywZZPd6ke2xEvNZ7sZfGoJCxu9vKjaDq+5EEsy4U2AZZezGvzXYvPnxZuEkkjsg4jK4Nnrp5sj81HAoxxWnhmndSGIxZnVnxj1OOV1KgUy1sDFo6Wkru+WFUlzTDdjEl+SlbhQUsHdRYPOA5fAlKVIXyRUJ1E=" class="">quantum-environ-users</a> (<a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgroups.google.com%2Fforum%2F%3Fhl%3Den%23!forum%2Fquantum-environ-users&data=02%7C01%7Coliviero.andreussi%40unt.edu%7C3c06ec5dcb694d44a47808d82d8d85ee%7C70de199207c6480fa318a1afcba03983%7C0%7C0%7C637309433158008722&sdata=cn52WZgU%2BEWZkyjMU8ME5kN736PZnAQoLlJNuEwBtL0%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/quantum-environ-users" shash="qL2rR26NDbdQS12rAmgXELfFkjx1XHfr5pCy5N/n5ZOSGiY2SWZb7mICnHEFyolRCzB0OdRmhgKIibpDVGsuy+/PXLHrHVIo4ktjgCe4NmFhks1unjPYRkKDbg8TOVjDXbnimGgHbGPI57Zll0MBd5P0D9ZCm+cIUCGlmvJWx3s=" class="">https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/quantum-environ-users</a>)</div>
