Verband Schweizer Plastic Recycler (VSPR)

Competence Center for Plastic Recycling

The Swiss Plastic Recyclers Association (VSPR) is the central competence center and voice for companies, municipalities, cities, and consumers committed to environmentally conscious and sustainable material cycles in the field of plastic recycling. This applies equally to household plastics and packaging as well as to the commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors.

The VSPR further advocates for sustainable and transparent plastic recycling in Switzerland. With a comprehensive monitoring system and high-quality standards, the association promotes the reuse of plastic waste from households, industry, commerce, construction, and agriculture.
