Entsorgung + Recycling Zurich
Where millions of litres of Zurich’s wastewater are treated every day, efficiency and order are just as essential in the staff locker rooms. Because Werdhölzlint was reaching its spatial limits, Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich (ERZ) replaced outdated lockers with Zippsafe. Introducing 11 new systems almost doubled capacity from 78 to 141 changing spaces – significantly boosting space efficiency, daily workflows, and staff satisfaction.
What challanges did Entsorgung + Recycling Zurich (ERZ) face?
Responsible for protecting Zurich's water cycle since 1926, the Werdhölzli wastewater treatment plant has expanded continuously over the decades. The accompanying growth in personnel caused the existing staff locker rooms to reach their absolute capacity limits. The challenge was to significantly increase locker capacity within the existing footprint, without compromising on order, comfort, or the clear separation of workwear and personal clothing.
Why did the company choose Zippsafe?
Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich (ERZ) chose Zippsafe because the system allowed for a dramatic increase in capacity without requiring costly structural alterations. Zippsafe impressed with its extreme space efficiency and its ability to replace outdated locker setups with a compact, modern concept. Furthermore, the solution offered well-thought-out features for maintaining hygiene and order in a demanding operational environment.
How does Zippsafe meet the high standards of Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich (ERZ)?
Zippsafe resolved the acute space shortage by installing 11 new systems, almost doubling locker capacity from 78 to 141 spaces.
Beyond this massive expansion within the same footprint, the plant benefits from streamlined daily workflows and a noticeable boost in employee satisfaction. Integrated ventilation alongside dedicated compartments for shoes and valuables ensure a hygienic and well-organised environment.
