About Sortavixa

Sortavixa was founded with a straightforward mission: to make Switzerland's already strong waste management system even more accessible to every resident, regardless of language, canton, or familiarity with local rules. Switzerland consistently ranks among Europe's leading recyclers by volume, yet household sorting errors remain a persistent challenge — driven not by indifference but by the genuine complexity of a decentralised system where rules change at the municipal boundary. We built Sortavixa to close that information gap. Our team combines expertise in environmental policy, digital product design, and municipal data management to deliver guidance that is both accurate and genuinely easy to follow. We maintain active relationships with cantonal waste authorities and update our content whenever regulations or collection arrangements change. Every piece of guidance on our platform is verified against official municipal and cantonal sources before publication — we do not rely on crowdsourced data for regulatory information. We believe that clear, trustworthy information is itself a sustainability tool: when residents sort correctly, contamination rates drop, more material is recovered, and the economic case for recycling infrastructure strengthens. Sortavixa is committed to plain language, accessibility across devices, and content available in the principal languages spoken across Switzerland. We are proud to support residents, housing associations, schools, and local businesses in building waste habits that last.
