On September 2, 2021, the 9th Swiss Green Economy / SGE Symposium took place in Winterthur. As an exhibitor, our innovative company demonstrated to participants from business, politics and science how recyclable plastic boards can be produced from otherwise incinerated mixed plastic waste using the latest technology and know-how. Our use case examples showed the many interested visitors to our booth not only how versatile such boards are, but also how we do closed-loop projects together with our customers. 

It was a very successful event, we thank the event organizers!

The research project KREIS Haus in Feldbach (Zurich) was launched by ZHAW and their partners. We from UpBoards have sponsored some recycling boards. These were built into a multifunctional furniture and two raised gardening beds. Many thanks to the ZHAW for this opportunity.

KREIS Haus offers tours and workshops on the topic:  

"How a functioning circular economy can be implemented in buildings in the smallest of spaces. From the building materials to the nutrients from the wastewater - everything is in the cycle".   

To  KREIS Haus

On August 12, 2021, an information event on the topic of circular economy took place at the premises of Transport AG Aarau in Buchs. The focus was primarily on plastics, whose recycling in Switzerland (with the exception of PET) is still in its early stages.

Four local entrepreneurs, the local section of the GLP party in Buchs and the association Swiss Recycling have impressively demonstrated the opportunities and limitations of sustainable cycles.  In Switzerland, for example, a large proportion of these plastics still ends up in incineration. Recycling these materials is energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and secures Switzerland's access to raw materials that are alternatively only imported from abroad.
 
Raphael Markstaller presented upboards.ch at this information event and showed the interested audience how mixed plastic waste can be recycled into plastic boards that can be used in a variety of ways.

Opportunities and benefits of the circular economy, a topic we deal with intensively.

At the invitation of the Hightech Zentrum/HTZ Aargau, Raphael Markstaller presented the practical example "Innovative recycling boards made of mixed plastic" during the HTZ's kick-off event "Praxiszirkel Kreislaufwirtschaft" on June 8, 2021. 

This cross-sector event for producers and processors as well as interested parties who want to take a closer look at the topic of the circular economy and new business models based on it will use practical examples and expert input to illustrate the opportunities and benefits of a circular economy.At the invitation of the Hightech Zentrum/HTZ Aargau, Raphael Markstaller presented the practical example "Innovative recycling boards made of mixed plastic" during the HTZ's kick-off event "Praxiszirkel Kreislaufwirtschaft" on June 8, 2021. 

After a successful first phase starting in November 2019 in 6 Coop Bau+Hobby stores, we will supply all 39 stores throughout Switzerland with our recycled boards starting in December 2020! 

We are pleased about the trust and cooperation with Coop Bau+Hobby and their customers: we have "captured" customer reactions in the video. 

As one of three start-ups, we were nominated by the canton of Aargau to participate in the Swiss Innovation Forum 2020! 

uper - a great sign of recognition for our innovative product. 

During the three-day online event, we had many networking opportunities to promote ourselves and our products throughout Switzerland.
