REMONDIS Schweiz AG

What REMONDIS Schweiz AG does

REMONDIS Schweiz AG is a Schaffhausen-headquartered waste management and recycling services company, founded in 1976 (originally as B. Spadin AG) and operating as a Swiss subsidiary of the Germany-based REMONDIS SE & Co. KG group. The company provides collection and environmentally sound disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste — excluding radioactive and explosive substances — for cantons, municipalities, hospitals, industry, trade businesses, and private individuals across all Swiss cantons.

Its service portfolio spans core municipal and industrial waste collection, circular-economy recycling services, specialized healthcare waste management under the REMED brand (integrated from Chiresa AG in early 2025), and a newer lithium-ion battery dismantling capability that recovers lithium, cobalt, and nickel from end-of-life EV batteries. The underlying technology is rooted in physical collection logistics, recycling processes, and licensed hazardous-waste handling rather than software or digital platforms.

REMONDIS Schweiz generates revenue through negotiated, quote-based B2B service contracts with government entities, healthcare facilities, and commercial customers, with pricing not publicly disclosed. It leverages direct service delivery across Switzerland, backed by the resources and best practices of the REMONDIS Group's approximately 1,500 locations across more than 30 countries. Leadership is anchored by Board Chairman Pierre-André Vasseur, with Kristin Doppelreiter heading the REMED healthcare waste division.
