Waste and Energy

Waste is raw materials in the wrong place. For many years, we have been advising public sector entities, private companies and NGOs in Switzerland and abroad on issues of waste and energy management.

We combine strategic and conceptual advice with experience of practical implementation. As well as technical and ecological considerations, we also believe it is important to take account of local, social and cultural aspects. Our services include:
