Our Contribution to the Circular Economy: PET Recycling at Fischer Söhne AG

Muri, 25 February 2026 – Sustainability is not something we “switch on” for a campaign. It is part of how we operate every day. As a manufacturer of high‑precision plastic solutions, we take responsibility for rthe resources we use, the environment we impact, and the communities we are part of. With the latest environmental certificate from PET‑Recycling Switzerland, we demonstrate how consistent PET bottle collection enables us to contribute directly to the circular economy.

Sustainability Begins in Everyday Actions

In 2025, we collected a total of 87 kilograms of PET beverage bottles. This corresponds to around 3,158 bottles, which PET‑Recycling Switzerland processed into high‑quality recyclate. Through this collection effort, we contributed to savings of 231 kg of CO₂‑equivalents and 62 litres of crude oil.

With approximately 100 employees, this equals 32 bottles per employee — showing how small, everyday actions add up to a meaningful environmental contribution.

Part of a Nationwide Recycling System

PET‑Recycling Switzerland issues more than 13,600 environmental certificates each year to voluntary collection points across Switzerland — including companies, schools and other organisations. Collection efforts differ by location and structure, but all certified sites share the same objective: supporting an efficient national recycling loop that returns valuable materials to the production cycle.

Our contribution is part of this collective system, which is recognised internationally for its high recycling performance and dense network of collection points.

Anchored in Our Sustainability Strategy

The environmental certificate aligns with the priorities described in our Sustainability Report, where we outline our commitments in resource efficiency, responsible production and environmental stewardship. The CO₂ and crude‑oil savings contribute directly to the Environment dimension of our ESG efforts and reinforce our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals — particularly:

• SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
  This goal focuses on using resources efficiently and reducing environmental impacts throughout the entire product lifecycle. By returning PET bottles into a closed recycling loop, we help conserve materials, minimise waste and support more sustainable production patterns.
• SDG 13 – Climate Action
  SDG 13 calls for concrete measures to reduce greenhouse‑gas emissions and strengthen climate resilience. The CO₂ savings achieved through PET recycling contribute directly to this objective by lowering our environmental footprint and supporting Switzerland’s broader climate‑mitigation efforts.

These results show how everyday behaviour—repeated and shared—strengthens larger sustainability ambitions.

Looking Ahead

We aim to further strengthen our internal recycling activities by improving collection processes, raising awareness among employees and maintaining accessible collection infrastructure. Sustainable progress takes shape step by step — supported by conscious behaviour and collective engagement.
