Valorlis will be present on the region's beaches in July and August with the ‘EcoPraias + Vidro’ campaign, created with the aim of increasing the amount of glass packaging collected and sent for recycling during the bathing season.

In line with trends in customer behaviour, the Recycling Line APP aims to facilitate and encourage recycling, through a practical, accessible and intuitive tool that allows you to ask questions and contribute to the adoption of more conscious behaviour and good environmental practices in your day-to-day life.

The results exceeded expectations and in just four months, the quantities of glass selectively collected by VALORLIS increased by 9% compared to the same period in 2024.
