One plant, 36 municipalities, 550 tonnes a day – and around 40 kilos of gold lost in the bins each year. Why Hinwil’s ageing incinerator is about to be replaced by a smaller one.
Key Takeaways
- Kezo, a municipal association, manages a single waste-to-energy plant in Hinwil, serving 36 municipalities.
- The existing incinerator will be replaced with a smaller facility, designed for 120,000 tonnes per year, and is expected to be operational by 2031.
- In 2025, Kezo treated around 189,000 tonnes of waste, while increasing district heating sales by 18% and electricity generation.
- They plan to develop a CO2 capture pilot facility, aiming to improve their CO2 balance significantly in the new plant.
- Recent board changes include the election of Christina Haffter and Stefan Wild, succeeding long-serving members.
