Who says Switzerland<br />
has no natural resources …?<br />
Urban mining helps<br />
to complete the raw materials cycle.<br />
Enabling highly developed economies that have no<br />
natural deposits themselves to satisfy their needs for<br />
raw materials necessitates exploiting secondary<br />
resources still more efficiently. Hence Switzerland<br />
already collects thousands of tonnes of aluminium,<br />
iron and copper each year. The SENS system contributes<br />
a substantial share of these valuable and<br />
increasingly scarce raw materials, by recycling used<br />
electrical and electronic appliances.<br />
