Unfortunately, this idea was not selected

Unfortunately, the idea did not receive enough votes in the poll and will therefore not proceed to the next phase.

However, the project team and the City of Zurich are reviewing all submitted ideas once again to identify potential synergies with other projects. Perhaps your idea could be implemented even without additional support? Please consider whether you would like to pursue the idea further.

If you’d like to continue getting involved in the pilot neighbourhood, you can also help develop one of the 26 selected ideas. To do so, contact the idea proposers directly or write to mitmachen@pilotquartier.ch.

Community compost plant

Idea not chosen
What should be created?
According to https://zerowasteswitzerland.ch and other sources on the network, organic waste accounts for around a third of the amount of residual waste. This means that valuable raw materials end up in the garbage bag and are incinerated. Composting on site has a number of benefits: - Removal by truck is no longer necessary, noise, traffic and energy consumption are reduced - Organic waste is usually poorly combustible, energy must be supplied in the incineration plant - Decentralised composting produces valuable humus, which settles CO2 in the soil and improves the quality of the existing soil - Regular collection of organic waste by volunteers strengthens social networking in the neighbourhood - "Grounding" of the compost caretakers, soil life (which develops surprisingly quickly!) gives satisfaction Ideally, of course, in combination with a neighbourhood garden
example
Communal composting plants of the FGZ, here about 140 volunteers work together, for individual caregivers there is little effort
