Pawi Packaging now uses district heating from Stadtwerke Winterthur

Until now, Pawi Packaging had been using three large gas heating systems that had been in use for over a decade. Gas was used exclusively to heat the offices and for hot water. The decision to connect to district heating from Stadtwerke Winterthur in 2021 was a strategic measure based on its comprehensive sustainability strategy. Edoardo Finotti, Co-CEO Operations, says: "Our decision to connect to Stadtwerke Winterthur's district heating system is another step towards a more sustainable future. It not only enables us to make considerable cost savings, but also contributes to a significant reduction in CO₂-emissions."

The investment of CHF 330,000 in this forward-looking conversion means that Pawi Packaging will not have to make any further investments in heating systems in the coming decades. In addition, there are no maintenance costs, as no tanks, boilers or flue gas systems (chimneys) are required. Thanks to district heating, the packaging producer is also helping to save an impressive 141,282 kilograms of CO₂ per year.

The secure hot water connection supports Pawi Packaging's firmly anchored sustainability principles: The hot water supplied is ecological, locally produced, odorless and available all year round and around the clock based on a central control system from Stadtwerke Winterthur.

Finotti adds: "Switching to district heating from Stadtwerke Winterthur is not only a strategic decision, but also an active contribution to environmental protection. It enables us to reduce our operating costs and at the same time take an important step towards sustainability."
