There were 1,136 educational establishments that participated in the Ecovalor Program in 2020 - the environmental education program dedicated exclusively to the school community and available in about 60% of the national territory. There were more than 331,000 students, teachers and assistants who, despite the pandemic, implemented good practices for the reduction and reuse of waste and recycled 2,560 tons of packaging, exceeding the values of 2019.
All of these schools sent 1.442 tons of paper and cardboard, 849 tons of plastic, metal and beverage packages and 269 tons of glass to be recycled. The material separated by the students was sent for recycling and each school receives its prize based on the amount recycled, for a total of 139,250 euros.
TOP + | National Champions
At the national level, Moledo - Lourinhã Basic School should be highlighted, first with 25 tonnes, followed by the Centro Infantil do Hospital de Faro (23 tonnes) and the EB1 / JI School of Conceição de Faro (22 tonnes) . These were the winning schools of the 19th edition of the program, which is already in preparation for the academic year 2021-2022.
TOP + | Regional Champions
Each concessionaire also distinguishes the schools that recycle the most in each region, and from which the results are disseminated.

Ecovalor Program
The Ecovalor program aims to promote good environmental practices in educational establishments throughout the country, rewarding those that present better performance in the separation of their used packaging. In addition to the awareness actions (also available online), this program ensures selective collection, delivers bags and supports and includes the Separa e Ganha contest - for each bag of packaging destined for the yellow ecopoint, the school will receive € 0.50. The values associated with the recycling of paper / cardboard and glass are specific to some regions, which have already taken the step in recycling more materials.
