Federal Act
on the Protection of the Environment
(Environmental Protection Act, EPA)

The Fed­er­al Coun­cil may:

a.

re­quire cer­tain types of waste to be re­covered if this is eco­nom­ic­ally feas­ible and harms the en­vir­on­ment less than oth­er forms of dis­pos­al and the man­u­fac­ture of new products;

b.

re­strict the use of sub­stances and products for cer­tain pur­poses if this will pro­mote the sale of equi­val­ent products made from re­covered waste without sig­ni­fic­ant loss of qual­ity or ad­di­tion­al cost.
