Our cigarette butt collection and recycling service in Zurich

Zurich concentrates the highest density of headquarters in Switzerland: banks (UBS, Zürcher Kantonalbank), insurance companies (Zurich, Swiss Re, Swiss Life) and industrial groups (ABB, Sulzer). For HR, facilities management and sustainability directors, managing cigarette butts is a structured topic: between cantonal smoking regulations, CSRD reporting requirements (for multinational corporations) and the Zurich fines schedule (CHF 80-120 per offence). Easy to Change works with a network of local logistics partners across German-speaking Switzerland.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions on our service in Zurich

Does Easy to Change serve all of Zurich and German-speaking Switzerland?
Yes. We serve clients across Zurich (City, Oerlikon, Schlieren, higher education district) and the wider German-speaking Switzerland (Winterthur, Zug, Schaffhausen). For multi-site clients across Switzerland, we adapt the logistics planning.
What is the fine for cigarette butt littering in the Canton of Zurich?
The Canton of Zurich sanctions littering — including cigarette butts — with a fine of CHF 80 to 120 under the cantonal police regulation. In certain protected zones (lakeshore, nature reserves), the fine can rise to CHF 300.
What is the difference between material recycling and energy recovery?
Material recycling separates the components and transforms the acetate filter into reusable plastic granulate (street furniture, insulation). Energy recovery burns the cigarette butt in cement plants as fuel. Detailed comparison →
What are the legal obligations on cigarette butts?
The EU SUP Directive 2019/904 mandates Extended Producer Responsibility for tobacco products across all EU Member States, including France (AGEC law, article L. 541-10-1), and equivalent national transpositions in Germany (EWKFondsG), the Netherlands and Belgium. Details of obligations →
