Production with the first Benninghoven Recycling Priority Plant (RPP) in Switzerland began not far from Geneva in September 2022. For SAPA (SOCIETE ANONYME DE PRODUITS ASPHALTIQUES), a subsidiary of Implenia, Switzerland’s biggest construction and construction services company, the RPP 3000 Plus was the ideal choice for the realization of high recycling rates with low emissions.

The RPP 3000 Plus HG Is the Ideal Choice

The RPP 3000 Plus enables recycled material feed rates of up to 100 percent and fulfills Switzerland’s particularly stringent environmental regulations. Gurtner Baumaschinen, an active player on the Swiss construction equipment market for 60 years, and the authorized dealer for the Wirten Group brands in Switzerland, is responsible for the provision of fast and efficient service. The plant reduces emissions, fulfills all legal requirements, and is both efficient and cost-effective. Despite the challenges of the corona pandemic, production at the RPP plant was able to begin after a construction time of only six months and now enables more sustainable solutions for the Swiss construction industry.

The new RPP 3000 Plus is located on the banks of the Rhône River.
