Johann Wüest's 1772 painting of the Rhone glacier at the Kunsthaus in Zürich inspired the introduction of SELFRAG's Centro Uno "Waste to Value" project. The painting's subject matter, a glacier that today requires blankets to slow melting, prompted reflection on environmental preservation efforts.

Project Overview

Construction of Centro Uno commenced in early January 2022 in Full-Reuenthal, with completion anticipated by year's end. Starting January 2023, the facility will process approximately 35,000 tons of slag annually from incinerators in Buchs, Turgi, and Renergia, recovering at least 50% of valuable materials.

Environmental Impact

The project delivers substantial benefits:

  • Significant conservation of scarce landfill capacity
  • Recovery of approximately 750 kg of CO2 per ton of slag treated
  • Current certification process underway for 450 kg per ton, with CO2 certificates expected to commence in 2023

As stated in the article, this represents "our humble contribution to our planet."

Strategic Direction

SELFRAG has experienced strong market traction in Switzerland among incinerators. The company is actively developing multiple new Swiss projects while encountering strong traction in the USA and Europe, acknowledging that waste production remains an extreme worldwide challenge.

Employment Opportunities

The company actively seeks Operating Managers, Business Developers, and Analysts to support its expansion efforts.
