From paper mill to a
new neighborhood

The Papieri site has an energy system that is one of a kind within Switzerland: all of the energy required for heating and cooling, and almost half that required to cover the development’s electricity, is generated on site. In 2024, Papieri Cham was awarded the «Energy Oscar» by the Federal Office of Energy, which underlines the pioneering role of the area.
