Measures for resource conservation and the circular economy

Measures for resource conservation and the circular economy: the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) is tasked with drawing up measures, with the involvement of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (EAER) and the Federal Department of Finance (FDF). Due to the close connection with the parliamentary initiative "Strengthening the Swiss circular economy", the proposals are to be coordinated with the parliamentary debate and subsequently presented - presumably in 2024. 

Despite efficiency gains, Switzerland is currently far from achieving the sustainable use of resources. As a result of the rising global consumption of resources, climate stability and ecosystems are at the limits of their resilience worldwide. Switzerland is contributing to this through its high consumption of resources per capita. Additional measures are essential so that future-proof, resource-conserving consumption and production models can be strengthened.
