Circular
We contribute daily to change the waste management paradigm in Portugal.
The responsibility transferred to us by our members pushes us to create value, based in a positive and sustainable model, according to excellence criteria.
Our compromise with the sustainability of our services reflects our effort.
In 2018 we collected 71 mil tons of WEEE, BAW and PW. This amount of waste is equivalent to 58 thousand of tons of avoided materials.
71mtonne
WEEE, BAW e PW
In 2018 our activity of WEEE, BAW and PW stream management was responsible for reducing 367 thousand tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of 90 thousand cars emissions and 46 thousand GWh of energy, enough to power 14 thousand families for a year.
43mtonne
Electric and electronic equipments
In what WEEE refers, the collection of 43 thousand tonnes of WEEE in 2018 implied the consumption reduction of 1 225 tonnes of copper, enough to produce 82 million mobile phones.
259tonne
Batteries and accumulators
Concerning batteries and accumulators waste, in 2018 the collection of 235 tonnes of batteries and accumulators waste implied the recovery of 1 tonne of cadmium, which could be used to manufacture around 750 photovoltaic panels.
In 2018 the correct treatment of 28 mil tonnes of packaging waste avoied the deposition of e 6 900 tonne of plastic in the sea.
In 2017 we collected 40 thousand tonnes of WEEE and BAW. This amount of waste is equivalent to 29 thousand of tonnes of avoided materials.
40,2mtonne
WEEE e BAW
In 2017 our activity of WEEE and BAW stream management was responsible for reducing 319 thousand tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of 83 thousand cars emissions and 42 thousand GWh of energy, enough to power 13 thousand families for a year.
40mtonne
Electrical and Electronic Equipment
In what WEEE refers, the collection of 43 thousand tonnes of WEEE in 2017 implied the consumption reduction of 1 143 tonnes of copper, enough to produce 76 million mobile phones.
202tonne
Batteries and Accumulators
Concerning batteries and accumulators waste, in 2017 the collection of 192 tonnes of batteries and accumulators waste implied the recovery of 400 kg of alluminium, which could be used to manufacture around 32 thousand juice cans.
In 2017 the 19 mil tonnes of ferrous metals recovered from recycled WEEE would be sufficient to manufacture 651 thousand washing machines.
In 2016 we collected 38 thousand tonnes of WEEE and BAW. This amount of waste is equivalent to 26 thousand of tonnes of avoided materials.
38,2mtonne
WEEE e BAW
In 2016 our activity of WEEE and BAW stream management was responsible for reducing 301 thousand tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of 78 thousand cars emissions and 40 thousand GWh of energy, enough to power 14 thousand families for a year.
38mtonne
Electrical and Electronic Equipments
In what WEEE refers, the collection of 38 thousand tonnes of WEEE in 2016 implied the consumption reduction of 4 299 tonnes ferrous metals, enough to produce 30 million laptops.
198tonne
Batteries and Accumulators
Concerning batteries and accumulators waste, in 2016 the collection of 202 tonnes of batteries and accumulators waste implied the recovery of 8 tonnes of iron, which could be used to manufacture around 13 cars.
In 2016 the collection of 38 thousand tonnes of WEEE avoided the deposition of 2 598 tonnes of plastics, which would be sufficient to produce 84 thousand of refrigerators.
