Reuse, don’t dispose: Join in and avoid waste.
Did you know that Switzerland produces the most disposable waste per head of population in Europe, at 100 kilograms, and is three times above the European average?
Did you know that littering – mindlessly throwing or leaving waste – is increasingly common and does not just generate additional work and costs for waste disposal, but is also harmful to the environment?
Following an intensive test phase from July to November 2021, we are continuing our efforts to gradually reduce waste from take-away purchases through various initiatives. Our aim is to protect the environment and provide sustainable products at SBB stations. Join us!
