Portugal hosted the international conference ‘Powering the Future – Energy Recovery in Portugal’, an initiative promoted by EGF, Valorsul and ISWA - International Solid Waste Association. The meeting, which brought together national and international experts to discuss the future of waste management, with a special focus on energy recovery, reflected on the challenges and opportunities for the sector in creating a new value cycle based on clean energy production and the promotion of the circular economy. At the opening of the conference, the Secretary of State for the Environment, João Manuel Esteves, highlighted that ‘energy recovery is one of the solutions to two of today's greatest environmental challenges: waste management and sustainable energy production’.

In line with trends in customer behaviour, the Recycling Line APP aims to facilitate and encourage recycling, through a practical, accessible and intuitive tool that allows you to ask questions and contribute to the adoption of more conscious behaviour and good environmental practices in your day-to-day life.

EGF was honoured with two awards at the 5th edition of the National Sustainability Awards, promoted by Jornal de Negócios. This recognition highlights the work of all the group's companies and the daily commitment of more than 3,000 employees across the country.
