A consistent approach to environmental protection
As a SENS eRecycling partner, you can be proud of our impressive track record together.
The recycling system for electrical equipment in Switzerland is not only the oldest in the world, but also one of the most successful.
It’s no coincidence that the recycling system of SENS eRecycling serves as a model for the implementation of similar systems in numerous other countries. With its extensive expertise, SENS eRecycling also plays an important role in the establishment of international quality standards.
But what does that mean in practice? How successful are we? The annually published life cycle assessment provides further information and contains some impressive figures.
