Swiss Please!
Swiss Please!
Switzerland is renowned for its distinctive “picture-postcard” environment; its pristine natural waters, lush green countryside and fresh clean air are world-famous. It is perhaps less well-known that its unadulterated natural wealth is no accident. The Swiss are constantly developing improved methods of resource management using the latest technologies to protect both their natural and urban environments. A willingness to be innovative, visionary and evidence-based has made Switzerland one of the world’s leaders in the development of “cleantech” products and services. I learned about some of Switzerland’s cleantech innovations by participating in a “Workshop on Urban Mining and the Circular Economy” hosted by EMPA, the Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science & Technology, earlier this year.

Abstract
Switzerland is renowned for its distinctive “picture-postcard” environment; its pristine natural waters, lush green countryside and fresh clean air are world-famous. It is perhaps less well-known that its unadulterated natural wealth is no accident. The Swiss are constantly developing improved methods of resource management using the latest technologies to protect both their natural and urban environments. A willingness to be innovative, visionary and evidence-based has made Switzerland one of the world’s leaders in the development of “cleantech” products and services. I learned about some of Switzerland’s cleantech innovations by participating in a “Workshop on Urban Mining and the Circular Economy” hosted by EMPA, the Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science & Technology, earlier this year.
