Wouldn’t it be great to give enthusiastic school children a taster of what it’s like to be a Recyclist? We were delighted to open the doors to our Waltenschwil site to do just that in celebration of National Future Day! A varied programme of activities wowed groups of young visitors again and again and made the day educational and diverse: equipped with helmets, high-visibility vests and safety shoes, they started the tour through our head office and the scrap yard, which is the biggest in Switzerland. Our 3,000 hp shredder was a particular highlight for the crowd of students – not surprising considering it holds the record for being the biggest in the country. They then had fun testing their knowledge: is it aluminium, brass, steel, zinc or copper? Who knows the difference? How many aluminium cans are there in our Alucube recycled product? They had lunch with their parents, and site manager Daniel Friedrich and head of production Naim Emini gave the children the opportunity to ask questions and discuss what they’d seen and discovered with their peers. Their interest in our Recyclist apprenticeships was sparked on National Future Day. More information is available to anyone on our careers website, whether they attended the National Future Day or not.
