Global Waste Investment Fact File: Switzerland
In the latest edition of our Global Waste Investment Fact File, we switch our focus to Switzerland and cover 27 projects in the country. These have a total value of US$1,711 million, an average of US$63 million per project.
Key points from this Fact File
- Incineration (with energy recovery) is the leading project type, accounting for US$1,143 million or 67% of the total. This is followed by recycling which accounts for US$214 million or 12% of the total.
- The total estimated capacity of these projects is 3 million tonnes. This is equal to 111,372 tonnes per project on average and 50% of Switzerland’s annual waste generation.
- Waste investments totalling US$347 million are expected to become operational over the next few years. This is currently expected to peak in 2018 at US$225 million.

AcuComm’s Daily Full Access Project – United Arab Emirates WtE Facility
Development of a US$50 million waste-to-RDF facility
It has been revealed that last week (17th October 2018), the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) successfully signed a waste management concession agreement with the shareholders of the newly founded Emirates RDF Company, to develop and operate a new US$50 million waste-to-RDF facility in UAE.
The project forms part of the first phase of the ‘Energy-From-Waste’ scheme launched in the Emirates of Ajman and Umm Al Quwain and this first phase is expected to cost around US$40 million.
Overall, the new facility is expected to convert the waste of 550,000 residents into refuse-derived fuel (RDF); which will be used in cement factories to partially replace the traditional use of gas or coal.
Work on the facility is expected to start in December 2018, with operations starting in April 2020.
