Waste Management Systems

The Principle of Extended Producer Responsibility and the management of waste electrical equipment, batteries and accumulators, and packaging takes the form of Waste Management Systems that are licensed by the Portuguese State for the collection, transport, sorting, recovery and disposal of used products and goods.

In integrated waste management systems, responsibility is transferred to a management entity, such as Electrão, which ensures that all obligations are met and provides a complete environmental compliance service.

The systems are designed to ensure the operational component, which includes everything from collection of waste (including, in some situations, the collection infrastructure), transport, sorting, treatment and correct forwarding for recycling.

In addition to the operational component, activities are also planned that are essential for managing and optimising the results of the operational network, such as communication and awareness-raising, research and development, control and monitoring.

Electrão's waste management systems are organised and meet a wide range of requirements.

The service provided to customers meets the highest environmental and financial standards. It fosters a close relationship and maximises synergies with the network's operational partners and service providers.

The licences for the management of these systems specify certain conditions, such as objectives, targets, activities and reporting to the Portuguese Environment Agency.
