Making Switzerland’s energy systems carbon-neutral while safeguarding supply is a major challenge for the country. SATW is supporting developments by identifying important new technologies, providing comprehensive information and unbiased explanations and assessing the potential of innovative solutions. In addition, SATW addresses the important issues of the circular economy and biotechnology as parts of the energy system.

Sustainable Circular Economy Topical Platform

The Sustainable Circular Economy Topical Platform reviews the scientific foundations of the circular economy and networks existing initiatives. It assesses the relevance of the circular economy along the value chain from environmental, societal, economic and technological perspectives. Systemic considerations that take account of system boundaries play an important role in this process. These activities enable SATW to identify and support solutions that aim to reduce Switzerland’s consumption of natural resources and the country’s environmental impact.
