Waste? A serious matter
Every bottle, every can, every piece of paper counts. We contribute to environmental protection through many big and small actions. The impressive natural surroundings and the panoramic views attract numerous visitors to Monte Generoso. That is why we ask guests to dispose of their empty containers in the recycling stations provided. We also use certified paper, eco-friendly cleaning products and lubricants, and we treat wastewater. Only recently, we introduced a company-wide waste management concept at all our locations, meeting the highest standards.
Separate waste collection
The best gift for our visitors? Enabling them to act in a way that's green and responsible. Separating waste is essential. Since 2021, the Ferrovia Monte Generoso has installed recycling stations in place of traditional bins: the measure, funded by the Myclimate foundation, has received praise from PET-Recycling Schweiz, the company that disposes of PET in Switzerland.
Certified paper
Such a delicate and precious material should be treated as duly important: that's why we focus on a safe source. Do you know what FSC® paper is? The acronym stands for Forest Stewardship Council®, and indicates the most accredited certification system in the world: the cellulose for FSC® paper only comes from forests that meet environmental, social, and economic standards.

Bellavista phyto-purification plant
We have thought about every aspect of sustainability, including wastewater treatment. The sun, the lush plants that grow next to the Buffet Bellavista, and the microbiological flora in the soil: this is all we need to purify the wastewater of the 25 guests at our restaurant every day. With no emissions and maximum efficiency!
KITRO system
In our restaurants, we have adopted the 'KITRO' system, an advanced solution for measuring and monitoring food waste within our facilities. This innovative system tracks every wasted ingredient, identifies areas of loss and helps us to implement targeted actions to reduce food waste. By integrating KITRO into our daily operations, we are taking concrete steps towards more sustainable management, actively contributing to reducing our ecological footprint and preventing food-wasting!
The adoption of KITRO reflects our ongoing commitment to more sustainable and responsible practices, aligning our business with long-term sustainability goals.
