CLIMATE PROTECTION
Companies in the recycling industry play a key role in the success of the energy transition and climate protection. They make a crucial contribution to transforming Switzerland into one of the most energy- and resource-efficient countries in the world.
The recyclers organised in the VSMR bring top-quality secondary raw materials back into the economic cycle for sustainable reuse. This conserves resources and saves large amounts of CO2.
