A special moment for the region: The new waste-to-energy plant in Zuchwil is now operational. During the opening days, we’ll give you a tour of the facility—and say thank you.
The new waste-to-energy plant in Zuchwil converts waste into energy. After several years of planning and construction, the plant is now operational and makes a tangible contribution to the region’s energy supply and waste management security.
On Saturday, August 22, and Sunday, August 23, 2026, the facility will be open to the public. Visitors can get an up-close look at the modern infrastructure and gain insight into how energy is generated from waste during a guided tour.
We cordially invite you to experience this moment with us and take a look behind the scenes of our new facility.

Self-Guided Tour of the Facility
Visitors can explore the new waste-to-energy plant at their own pace on a self-guided tour.
We recommend wearing sturdy, closed-toe shoes for the tour. Since the path leads over grating, shoes with heels and flip-flops are not suitable for safety reasons. In some places, the tour leads through higher areas of the facility.
