In that respect, the city is one of Portugal’s leaders and a role model
Porto’s municipal website informed the public this week that the Portuguese city sent only 0.24% of its waste to landfills in 2020, thanks to the organized work and policies carried out by the municipal environmental company Porto Ambiente. The Municipality bases its waste management strategy on a zero-landfill policy, which is in line with European strategic guidelines, making it a leader and an outlier in that respect if we consider all of Portugal.
The numbers recorded by Porto Ambiente have favourably contributed to the results of the inter-municipal waste management company Lipor, which, according to data released by the Portuguese Environment Agency, reached the milestone of 2% of waste deposited in landfills.
Lipor is the Intermunicipal Waste Management Service of Greater Porto - founded in 1982. It manages, recovers, and treats the municipal waste produced in eight municipalities of the Greater Porto Area: Espinho, Gondomar, Maia, Matosinhos, Porto, Póvoa de Varzim, Valongo, and Vila do Conde. At the same time, it also shares good practices with the population, which are supported by awareness campaigns. The company treats half a million tons of municipal waste each year.
The numbers are remarkable because the national target for landfilling is 10%, making Lipor only one of two Portuguese waste management to meet that target and to do it in a consistent manner.
The Municipality of Porto has been achieving all the goals it set for itself and, in 2020, it reached a recycling rate of 37%, surpassing the established objective of 31%. Also, with regard to the production of selective waste, the rate is a bit over 65 kg/inhabitant per year, with the goal being 61 kg/inhabitant per year. That means that the progress is good but there is still some work to be done in the field of waste reduction per capita.
