Every day each Portuguese produces an average of 1.32 kg of waste, contributing to an annual production of 4.75 million tons of urban waste for which we have to give a destination. The diversity of materials, packaging and equipment that we have at home, composed of a very varied range of components, makes it difficult for us to decide when they become "junk" and we want them to be recycled.

In fact, this difficult task is reflected in the numbers, only 16.5% of the total waste produced in Portugal is sent to the ecopoints, a very low value that will make it difficult to separate the different materials and refer them to recycling. it will be reflected in the rate of treatment of the garbage, that is to say the less we separate the more we pay.
