About
APD (Auen Pflege Dienst AG) is a Swiss landscape-services company in Flaach, Zürich founded in 2007, whose core business is riparian/wetland maintenance, green-waste composting, and rural road upkeep. Since summer 2019 it has additionally operated a Biomacon pyrolysis plant producing EBC-certified biochar (“Pflanzenkohle”) from regional wood chips for agricultural soil improvement and livestock feed. From January 2026 the plant’s waste heat will feed the Wärmeverbund Flaach district heating network, displacing ~300 tonnes of wood chips annually.
