Our projectsThe importance and impact of the urban cleaning sector in Portugal

This study’s main objectives were the characterization and quantification of the importance of activities linked to the urban cleaning sector in Portugal, from a social, economic, and environmental perspective, as well as the identification of the main lines of action for the sector and for the Urban Cleaning Association (ALU) itself, in the face of current challenges and future trends.

The work carried out included:

• Survey and analysis of background information
• Consultation with stakeholders, including structured interviews and round table sessions
• Assessment of environmental, social, and economic contributions, based on surveys of municipalities and economic agents and case studies
• Workshops with stakeholders to define the vision and priority lines of action

In order to achieve the vision, it was proposed an Action Plan organized into five strategic axes:

1. Governance and recognition
2. Capacity building
3. Awareness raising
4. Legislation and enforcement
