A high quality soil corrective (NUTRIMAIS) is essential for the LIPOR Organic Valorisation Plant in order to produce material with a high content of organic matter. In this sense, LIPOR with the Associated Municipalities has implemented several projects of organic fraction selective collection present in municipal waste (bio waste), in particular:
- Green Waste (e.g. grass clippings, flowers, gardening branches), from parks, gardens, cemeteries;
- Food waste (e.g. remains of the preparation of meals, food leftovers; fresh products that do not comply with the requirements for sale) from restaurants and similar establishments, as well as markets, fairs and processing centres and/or distribution of fresh products.
The total amount of compost produced was of 10.799 tons, noting that analytical determinations performed attested that the compost, Nutrimais, has good physic-chemical characteristics, is a stable product, matured and sanitized and therefore of high value for agricultural soils. In addition, the occupancy rate of LIPOR Organic Valorisation Plant was 78.4% and the yield of the composting process reached 23%.
