Developed Projects
In terms of Innovation we follow co-creation and open innovation principles that includes projects developed internally and in partnership, creating synergies with more than 40 partners. We have been participating in financed projects by programs such as H2020, INTERREG, Life +, POCTEP, POSEUR, FCT, among others, with the aim of increasing knowledge, implementing good practices and exchanging experiences between international partners.
Find out some of the financed projects we have already developed:
ESTRAEE Project
The ESTRAEE Project (Cross-border Sustainable Strategy for the Management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the POCTEP programme, integrated the partners: Deputación de Pontevedra; LIPOR; ERP Portugal; ERP España, Energylab and Revertia.
In the LIPOR area, it allowed us to implement a model that promotes the reuse and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Among other actions, we highlight the requalification and installation of new equipment in 9 recycling centres, allowing the segregation at source of equipment with repair potential, as well as the installation, at LIPOR (Baguim do Monte site), of a unit that centralises the reception of equipment with repair potential and of a Recovery and Reuse Centre.
