The balance of activity in the machines at Continente stores could not have been more positive!<\/em>\u201d explains Pedro Lago, Director of Sustainability Projects at Continente. \u201cOver the last year and a half, more than 11.4 million PET plastic packages were collected for recycling<\/em>\u201d, adds the official.\r\n\r\nIn this pilot project, the institutions supported by Miss\u00e3o Continente \u2013 \u2018Animalife\u2019; \u2018Raquel and Martin Sain Foundation\u2019; \u2018N\u00aa Sr\u00aa do Amial Social and Parish Centre\u2019; and \u2018Senhor do Bonfim, Social Solidarity Association\u2019 – were chosen, taking into account the physical proximity to each store and the already established relationship in the context of daily surplus donations.\r\n\r\nIn line with European goals and legal guidelines for recycling, Continente is participating in several pilot projects to prepare for the future Deposit and Refund System (DRS) for beverage packaging, to be implemented in Portugal. These initiatives have been important references in order to acquire knowledge and experience, before the final system\u2019s implementation.\r\n\r\nTherefore, Continente will have beverage packaging deposit machines installed in 25 stores throughout mainland Portugal, representing a convenient, simple and quick solution for the consumer.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As of this month of September, the amount raised from the deposit of PET plastic beverage containers at Continente Bom […]","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":10114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179,158,164,182,175,165,166,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comnunity","category-continente-en","category-environment","category-missao-continente-news","category-news","category-recycling","category-social-responsability","category-sustainability"],"yoast_head":"\nPET plastic packaging deposit reverts to institutions -
