Radschaft

Radschaft is a service based in Basel that focuses on the collection and recycling of organic waste. They offer a subscription service for CHF 15 per month, providing weekly pick-ups of organic waste. The initiative emphasizes the importance of diverting bio waste from landfills and instead composting it through their Heissrotte system. By composting organic waste, Radschaft aims to turn it into a valuable resource in the form of fertilizer, while also promoting the consumption of local and sustainable products sourced from nearby producers and stores. Regardless of whether individuals, businesses, pizzerias, or vegetarian restaurants participate, Radschaft welcomes all entities to join their circular project. They operate throughout the Basel-Stadt canton, utilizing cargo bikes with trailers for noiseless and eco-friendly waste collection. The service not only aims to make municipal resources more efficient and sustainable but also supports the local nutrient cycle by producing high-quality compost through waste recycling. To minimize empty trips and expand their offerings, Radschaft incorporates a range of high-quality local products into their delivery service. This not only helps in reducing carbon emissions and noise pollution but also enhances their value proposition by providing additional services to their customers. The company encourages support through donations and engages with customers through email contact for inquiries or signing up for their services. By promoting a holistic approach to waste management and sustainable living, Radschaft sets out to contribute positively to the environment and community in Basel.
