Visit Switzerland’s largest open-air composting facility, where organic waste is turned into valuable resources for a sustainable circular economy.
Located in Galmiz, the Seeland Composting Plant is more than just a waste treatment site. This modern facility transforms organic waste into biogas, high-quality compost, and reusable raw materials. Its approach reflects a true circular economy: nothing is lost, everything is transformed. The combination of advanced technology and environmental awareness aims to preserve natural resources in the long term.
