The intercantonal platform CleantechAlps, based in Sion, has partnered with the publisher Terre&Nature Publications SA, based in Préverenges in the canton of Vaud, to publish a new special issue on sustainability. The 52-page issue focuses on batteries. In the issue titled “Batteries: The Recycling Challenge” readers learn how to extend the lifespan of batteries, promote their reuse, and improve their recycling. According to a statement, this is already the fifth special issue on sustainability that CleantechAlps has produced in partnership with Terre&Nature. The issue is available in German and French.
The dossier on batteries reportedly includes an interview with Corsin Battaglia, Head of Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) and Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) as well as “profiles of four companies shaping the future of battery technology”. Readers can also look forward to an article on green hydrogen straight from the tap plus features and initiatives on urban planning, the local economy and sustainability from French-speaking Switzerland.
As the foreword of this special edition says, “this magazine takes you on a journey of discovery through the diverse solutions shaping the energy transition: from the use of organic materials such as charred wood and mushrooms to the production of green hydrogen and the concept of green urban planning.” ce/nta
