LIPOR | Launch of an awareness campaign for the collection of cork stoppers

ACR+ member LIPOR, together with Quercus and Porto Ambiente, is launching an awareness campaign to encourage cork recycling. They are developing a door-to-door collection channel among non-residential customers (restaurants, cafés, canteens, etc.) in the municipality of Porto for the collection of cork stoppers. In a first stage, around 150 HORECA establishments will participate. It is expected that, by the end of the campaign, more than one thousand clients will have joined the project “Cork Stoppers Sow the Harvest”. It aims at contributing to reforestation in Portugal, since for every 50 cork stoppers collected, a native tree will be planted.
