The ZERO WASTE initiative was born out of a citizens' movement when, in the midst of the economic and social crisis, huge quantities of end-of-life meals and food were deposited in waste bins, usually in unsorted waste bins, which could have been recovered for human consumption or, if not possible for human consumption, for animal consumption or composting. To establish the Zero Waste network in the Greater Porto region, ZERO DESPERDÍCIO has had the support of LIPOR and Porto City Council. In this municipality, the ZERO WASTE initiative has already taken root and has borne fruit, but it still has plenty of room to grow and germinate. In 2021 it is looking for potential donors and recipients, in a circular and collaborative economy, to combat waste in favour of the Planet, Society and the Economy.
