The campaign kicked off on Saturday at Lourinhã Market, attended by António Gomes, a councillor on Lourinhã Municipal Council, and Armando Militão, Valorsul’s managing director. Valorsul has just launched the environmental awareness campaign “Mercado a Reciclar” in the municipality of Lourinhã, in partnership with the Town Council, with the aim of encouraging market traders and visitors to sort recyclable waste correctly within the market environment, thereby promoting its delivery for recycling.

The digitisation project at the Lumiar Sorting Centre has won first prize in the Digital Transformation in Sustainability category. Valorsul was honoured at the National Sustainability Awards, organised by Jornal de Negócios, with the 1st Prize in the Digital Transformation in Sustainability category for its digitisation project at the Lumiar Sorting Centre in Lisbon.

On World Recycling Day, celebrated on May 17th, we remember that every gesture counts and every choice matters. We therefore highlight the Tons of Help campaign, a solidarity initiative that combines recycling with social responsibility, through which it was possible to grant €130,000 to social solidarity institutions last year, in the form of financial compensation for recyclable material delivered to Valorsul's facilities. These amounts have positively impacted thousands of people through the support provided by 70 institutions that participated in the campaign. The EGF Tons of Help campaign is aimed at social and non-profit institutions in Portugal and is available in Valorsul's area of ​​operation, regionally, and in approximately 60% of the national territory, through the 11 concessionary companies of the EGF group. 696 tons of waste sent for recycling Throughout 2025, the institutions that participated in this campaign sent more than 696 tons of packaging for recycling: 413 tons of paper/cardboard, 263 tons of plastic/metal, and 20 tons of glass. Each entity receives monetary compensation, depending on the quantity and flow of material delivered to the EGF companies' facilities.
