AWEL Kanton Zurich

AWEL is responsible for implementation the defined Phosphorous Mining strategy for sewage sludge management of the Canton Zurich.

The strategy was adopted according to a resolution of the governing council of the Canton of Zurich in 2007 with the following clear general conditions: 

“The general conditions for the planning of future methods of disposal form the specifications for the retrieval of phosphorus and energy use. In accordance with sustainable resource management, future disposal methods are to be planned, in particular when building new plants, so that the (later) retrieval of phosphorus is possible. The renewable energy in sludge should be used, regardless of the place it is treated, in the optimum economic manner."

The agency is fulfilling the implementation together with partners from industry, academia and consultancy.
