Great recycling potential
This year's general meeting of the Swiss Plastic Recyclers Association (VSPR) was all about the circular economy. Sika Schweiz AG in Sarnen was this year's host for the Swiss plastic recycling industry.
900 municipalities collect
Esther Thiébaud, DSS+, as a neutral and external inspection body, presented the plastic volume flows in 2023. The VSPR-licensed systems together collected around 11,500 tons. This corresponds to an increase of 8 percent. Over 900 municipalities are connected to the certified collection of mixed plastic waste from households.
Club becomes association
The general meeting approved a change of name with a change of statutes "from association to federation". The abbreviation "VSPR" will remain. The name change reflects the growing importance of the industry organization, which now has 52 members.
New office
The VSPR's head office will be relocated from Olten (SO) to Bazenheid (SG). From April 1, 2024, the Zweckverband Abfallverwertung Bazenheid (ZAB) will manage the VSPR office. Urs Corradini is the new Managing Director of the VSPR. Michèle Beerli, Deputy Managing Director, is the new Head of Marketing / Communications.
