When we think about recycling, many questions arise for which we do not always have immediate answers. The EGF Group has a new service that will help clarify various issues.


The Recycling Hotline is a PUBLIC, FREE, NATIONAL service that was created to provide effective responses to citizens, namely to answer questions, requests for information, suggestions, complaints, compliments, and service requests related to the collection and treatment of urban waste.
Environmental Education

The campaigns – Ecovalor, Toneladas de Ajuda, EcoEventos, EcoPraias and Mercado a Reciclar – enable us to reach various audiences and challenge citizens to recycle everything, always and everywhere. In all of them, it is possible to quantify the packaging recycled and measure results.
