Following the success of the first edition, which certified 104 local establishments in the HoReCa sector (hotels, restaurants, and cafes), the initiative now also includes companies with canteens and bars. The project, recognized and co-financed by Sociedade Ponto Verde, has the primary objective of promoting a sustained change in behavior regarding the separation and correct routing of glass packaging for recycling.
To obtain certification, establishments and companies in the municipality must separate glass packaging and send it for recycling, either through selective door-to-door collection or by providing proof of glass recycling.
Applications can be submitted until December 31st, via an online form available at albergariarecicla.pt, with proof gathered in a single PDF. For the certification or revalidation process of the Albergaria Recicla Certificates, entities can participate in an online training session promoted by the Municipality on December 10th, through a specific registration link.
The Municipality of Albergaria-a-Velha has been asserting itself through investment in the environmental domain and a strategy based on initiatives that contribute to a more sustainable municipality. Correctly separating glass packaging is a simple process, but it makes a significant difference for the environment and the territory's sustainability.
