Resource Recovery at ZAR
Fabian Di Lorenzo Head Process Development & Production, Centre for
Sustainable Management of Recyclable Waste and Resources (ZAR)
Switzerland works hard to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. Already, Swiss and
British companies are working together on a number of waste management projects in this
country which aim to achieve this goal. The Swiss Pavilion at RWM will provide the
opportunity for colleagues from both countries and further afield to exchange experience
and information on the industry throughout this week.
11:55
RWM showcases the best in waste management from across Europe which is why we are
keen to provide information about Switzerland’s research into CLOSING THE LOOP
technology currently being undertaken by the Swiss Centre for Sustainable Management
of Recyclable Waste and Resources (ZAR). The seminar will also give examples of British
and Swiss collaboration in this area.

Switzerland is a poor country in terms of natural resources. It is therefore not good practice
both ecologically and economically to put recyclable waste into landfill. A sustainable resource
policy should be based on closed material cycles, and this means that the recovery of energy
from organic fractions (WtE plants, Biogas etc) is now standard practice in Switzerland.
The next phase in this process is the material recovery of metallic and mineral substances
from the residues of WtE. The national development centre for sustainable management of
recyclable waste and resources (ZAR) based in Hinwil, Switzerland, is developing appropriate
technologies. This is taking place in close cooperation with industry which will bring it to
market. Known as Urban Mining these technologies are based on systems and equipment
typically used in the mining industry.
Hydromethan AG
Hydromethan AG is a spin-off from the Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland. Our
mission is to offer environment and climate protection and offer the large scale production of
synthetic natural gas (SNG) from organic waste fractions worldwide. The results of years of
scientific research will be utilised economically and with professional responsibility. In 2012 a
first demonstration plant will be built at a site in Switzerland.

The treatment of EtW residues can sustainably increase the efficient use of materials and
energy over the entire lifecycle of products. Additionally it helps to reduce the need for landfill.
The Swiss vision is to ensure that within 10-20 years 100% of waste is recycled to energy
and fresh commodities. This will therefore close the lifecycle loop.
I.C.E AG
Hitachi Zosen Inova AG
Waste is our energy! This maxim, combined with our global vision of highly efficient,
environmentally friendly thermal waste treatment, has been inspiring the activities and
development of Hitachi Zosen Inova (formerly Von Roll Inova) for over 75 years. Our
competence, broad know-how and international experience has enabled us to become the
leading supplier in the field of Energy from Waste. We have worked on several UK projects from the construction phase through to the commercial operation- and are among the
trendsetters of this cutting-edge technology. HZI and our important innovations have
significantly contributed to the development of the original thermal waste treatment process
into the advanced technology which is now available today. Visit us to learn more about how
to make to most out of waste through energy recovery, combined heat and power, and flue
gas cleaning.
