▸ Regulatory Mandate“Switzerland has maintained a 0% municipal waste landfilling rate since 2010, achieved through a landmark landfill ban on combustible waste enacted in 2000. Since January 2020, the landfill ban extends to all C&D waste. The VVEA (Waste Ordinance) mandates source separation and recycling of construction materials. New circular economy laws effective January 2025 further prioritize reuse and material recovery. The total cost of C&D waste disposal (incineration path) reaches approximately €85/t, making on-site processing highly economical. The Environmental Protection Act (USG) imposes criminal penalties for violations, with fines up to CHF 100,000 for legal entities.”
