Launched exactly two years ago, the waste collection pioneer project of the Municipality of Porto, that bets on turning waste into compost in order to use it on the soil and enrich it, arrives now to more than 15 thousand families, with an estimated full coverage of the city by the end of this year.

The club is is preparing the creation of two Renewable Energy Communities, at Estádio do Dragão and at the Centro de Treinos do Olival.

Global initiative aims to raise awareness of the importance of amphibians.

More than six million will be destinated to solutions, mostly electrical, to support the activity of cleaning public space, namely sweeping equipment.

Porto is one of the municipalities in Portugal that wastes less water, registering an index of Non-Revenue Water of 13,4% in 2022.

Each portuense (people from Porto) separated, on average, about 80 kg/inhabitant per year from packaging waste.

The vice-President of the Porto City Hall has participated in the event “Climate-Resilient Water Management”, hosted by Globe-EU.

The Municipality of Porto has been investing in an intensive use of LED technology, photovoltaic panels, and in the strengthening of electric mobility and renewable energies.

At this time, the city is dressed in shades of white, pink and purple/lilac, the dominant colours of the species of the Magnoliaceae family.

Local investors, whether businesses or citizens, can, through local authorities, help boost the development of “green” projects to reduce the effects of climate change.
