2024 was a landmark year for Selfrag. Our Centro Uno facility in Full-Reuenthal processed record volumes of incinerator bottom ash, avoiding over 13,160 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

Proof of scalability

Combined with the savings from the SAIDEF plant in Fribourg, our total CO₂ avoidance in 2024 significantly exceeded projections. The HVP process performed at industrial throughput, in continuous operation, with the recovery rates we had measured in the lab.

Circular economy in action

The recovered metals and minerals — ferrous metals, iron oxide concentrate, aluminium, heavy metals, and clean minerals — re-enter Swiss and European material cycles instead of going to landfill.

What's next

With Centro Due under construction and expected to begin operations in 2026, our combined waste-to-value capacity will more than double, bringing us closer to our target of 33,500 tonnes of CO₂ savings per year.
