In the first half of 2020 and in the residential door-to-door selective collection areas, ACR+ member LIPOR received 6,222 tonnes of materials (paper, plastic and glass) delivered for recycling (27.7% more than in the first half of 2019) and 849 tonnes of bio-waste (558 tonnes of food waste, 58.3% more than in the first half of 2019 and 291 tonnes of green waste, 65.7% more than in the first half of 2019). These increases represent a further 1670 tonnes of recyclable waste compared to the previous period, which demonstrates the importance and convenience of this project.

Now, in the eight LIPOR municipalities, 184,000 citizens already have at their disposal a dedicated selective collection service at their doorstep, 10% more than in the first half of 2019, which guarantees quality and simplifies waste recycling.
