We Collect, Recycle and Return what came from the Earth to the Earth.
In the Composting Plant, located in Baguim do Monte, we have the capacity to process 60 thousand tonnes/year of waste (food waste and green waste) from selective collection. The Plant uses the tunnel composting process, producing around 13 thousand tonnes/year of high quality organic compost, NUTRIMAIS.
- Door-to-Door Residential Selective Collection (Household food waste);
- Door-to-Door Non-Residential Selective Collection (Food waste from restaurants and similar);
- Other dedicated Selective Collection circuits (Food waste from different sources, including markets and fairs, festivities, pilgrimages, events, etc.);
- Selective Collection of Green Waste (door-to-door, local and drop-off sites;
- Selective Collection of Green Cemetery Waste.
The Composting Plant has two support facilities:
- Green Park, where all the green waste (grass, pruning, branches, etc.) is sent to and preselected;
- Sorting Plant for Green Cemetery Waste, where a team of 6 Employees carefully sorts the green waste collected from cemeteries.
Environmental Monitoring
The entire process designed in the Composting Plant intends to respond to two fundamental premises: on the one hand a great quality of the product; and on the other hand, the integral treatment of odors reducing their impact outside the Central.
Here is a short summary of the environmental protection systems in place.
