Waste statistics

The system of waste disposal and recycling in Zermatt is run extensively on an environmentally compatible basis. Nevertheless, continuous efforts must be made to maintain a level of high environmental and economic efficiency in waste disposal. In view of the future decline in the availability of raw materials, it will also be important to integrate waste management in a comprehensive concept of raw material and product policy.
