At KISC, we do our best to separate as
much of our waste as possible, in no less than 20 categories. Most of the
recyclables are brought to Kandersteg’s recycling centre. From there they are
taken to the different recycling plants across the canton and country.
Whatever is not recyclable gets
collected by a waste incineration plant and is burned to generate electric and
heat energy.
In Germany, there is a discussion going on about whether
it’s better to recycle as much as possible or to burn as much as possible.
Both recyclers and incinerators have
their own economic interests to defend, of course, but there are also
environmental arguments. Recycling saves precious materials, but takes a lot of
transporting goods around. Burning produces energy, but also pollutes the air.
At
KISC we choose to separate waste as much as possible. Not only to save the
materials, but also because handing in recyclables is for free, while burning
our waste costs us money!
