When we think about recycling, many questions arise for which we don't always have immediate answers. The EGF Group has a new service that will help clarify various issues.

The Recycling Helpline is a PUBLIC, FREE, and NATIONAL service created to provide effective answers to citizens, specifically to respond to questions, information requests, suggestions, complaints, compliments, and service requests related to the collection and treatment of urban waste.
Environmental Communication

The campaigns – Ecovalor, Toneladas de Ajuda, EcoEventos, EcoPraias and Mercado a Reciclar – allow us to reach various audiences and challenge citizens to recycle everything, always and everywhere. In all of them, it is possible to quantify the recycled packaging and measure results.

Discover them on the Environmental Education page.

Valuing the Environment is Caring for the Future.
