The national network

The collection sites for used packaging are organized into a national urban network made of recycling bins, ecocentres and door-to-door collection. The Urban Waste Management Systems and municipalities are responsible for managing these sites. After sorting, the lots are sent to operational partners, selected by Electrão for proper treatment and recycling. Get to know the network's players:

Electrão's work with used packaging

Since 2005, we have been one of the driving forces behind recycling in Portugal. All the work we do ensures that the packaging is taken back
and treated correctly when they reach the end of their useful life. Through recycling, we avoid polluting the environment and extracting new finite raw materials, contributing to a more circular economy.

These are last year's results:

Retake
56 233 ton

of used packaging taken back by Electrão

Diverted plastic
15 thousand ton

of plastic packaging diverted from nature

Fighting pollution
46 430 tons

CO2 emissions avoided
