Discover the story and team of Ecosapin

For over 15 years, we have been giving life back to the Christmas tree.


The story of Ecosapin began in 2011 in Cottens (Vaud), with a simple idea: why should a Christmas tree be cut down to serve only a few weeks?

Inspired by a concept already developed in North America, farmer Julien Bugnon imagined a more sustainable alternative: offering living Nordmann firs, grown in pots, delivered directly to individuals and businesses, and then picked up after the holidays to continue their growth.

What started as a local initiative quickly became a reference in Switzerland. Year after year, Ecosapin has developed its production and delivery network to offer its trees in most regions of the country, while remaining true to its agricultural roots and original spirit. Today, thousands of trees are rented each year to families, businesses, administrations, and organizations that wish to celebrate Christmas in a more responsible way.


Our values

Practical above all

We believe that a sustainable gesture should also be simple.

You choose your tree online, we deliver it directly to your home before Christmas, then we come to pick it up after the holidays. No transport, no waste management, no worries: we take care of everything.

Because the most ecological solution is also the one that easily fits into everyday life.


Ecological

Our mission is to extend the life of the trees.

After their stay with you, they return to the fields to continue growing and can be rented out for several years. The trees that can no longer continue this cycle are valued, in order to limit waste and preserve resources. This approach offers a concrete alternative to the single-use cut Christmas tree.


Local

Ecosapin is a Swiss agricultural company, born in Cottens.

We prioritize local production, short supply chains, and a local logistics network to limit transportation while ensuring impeccable quality. Supporting Ecosapin also means supporting innovative agriculture and regional know-how.


Living

An Ecosapin is a true living tree.

It evolves with the seasons, continues to grow between two Christmases, and is part of a natural cycle that we have chosen to preserve rather than interrupt. We believe that this living dimension gives meaning to a tradition that brings together thousands of families each year.


Training company

At Ecosapin, we believe that the transmission of know-how is essential for building the future of our profession. That is why we are committed as a training company by supporting apprentices in their professional journey.

Being a training company means providing a concrete learning environment where knowledge is acquired through hands-on experience, alongside passionate professionals. This mission naturally aligns with Ecosapin's values: sharing our experience, encouraging the next generation, and contributing to the dynamism of the local economy.
