The waste-to-energy facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, operated by Vadec SA, is the result of the merger and modernisation of two earlier incineration plants that served the Neuchâtel Jura region since 1991.
Today operating as a unified installation, Vadec SA processes residual waste from the Canton of Neuchâtel and neighbouring areas, generating electricity and thermal energy for the community. The plant exemplifies the Swiss approach to consolidating smaller incineration facilities into more efficient combined operations.
