Innovation
and services
In Switzerland, the vast majority of industrial waste still ends up incinerated. An immature market, insufficient material recovery channels, and considerable untapped potential. This is precisely where Valo works, constantly developing new solutions to move towards greater circularity.
At Valo, innovation is not a posture: it is a core activity, driven from our treatment centre, where most of our development takes place. We step in where standard answers fall short, on complex streams and high value-added challenges.
Our commitments in the ecosystem

Measure to improve
LCA and CO₂ quantification
Innovating without measuring means moving blindly. Valo has the tools and skills to precisely quantify the environmental impact of the solutions it develops: life cycle assessments (LCA), carbon footprints, circularity indicators.
These capabilities first serve to validate and improve our own processes. They are also available to clients who want to document and showcase their own environmental initiatives.
Request the LCA results
Life cycle assessments contain client data: they are shared on request.
Your request is sent to info@valo-solutions.ch; the document is shared after validation.
These services draw on the expertise of Projets21, Valo's sister company, which specialises in environmental quantification and certification. At a time when regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations are evolving fast, having a reliable, certified measure of your impact becomes a real competitive advantage.
