Our projectsMAFRA Reciclar a valer +

“MAFRA Reciclar a Valer +” was a project designed to promote the collection of empty plastic bottles and drink cans so that they could be recycled and reincorporated into the production cycles of new materials and products. To this end, incentives were given to citizens who sorted their waste more carefully by handing it into one of the 12 RVM machines distributed around the Municipality of Mafra.

As a partner, 3drivers provided technical support to achieve the project’s main objectives, namely:

• Support for continuous monitoring to improve the system’s effectiveness and efficiency
• Implementation of actions to raise awareness and educate the community, increasing its contribution to recycling and the circular economy

The operation of 12 RVM machines over 14 months enabled the collection of more than 2.5 million used packaging bottles (82% PET and 18% aluminum), which corresponded to more than 71 tons of material sent for recycling and around 90 thousand euros awarded to citizens in the form of economic incentives.

This project received funding from the EEA Grants “Environment, Climate Change and Low Carbon Economy” Program.
