Separate waste collection is set to increase by 7.5% in 2025 in the area served by Suldouro
In 2025, Suldouro recorded solid growth in separate collection, reaching a total of 33,368 tonnes of recyclable materials – an increase of 7.5% compared to 2024. This result reflects the joint efforts of the local population and the commitment of various local institutions, notably the municipalities of Vila Nova de Gaia and Santa Maria da Feira, as well as their respective parish councils, combined with the operational work carried out by Suldouro.
One of the highlights of 2025 was the consolidation of the ‘Reciclagem à Porta’ project, the system that allows residents to sort their waste at home, using dedicated bins that are collected by Suldouro according to a pre-defined schedule. In 2025, this model grew once again, reaching around 2.5% and exceeding 10,500 tonnes collected, cementing its position as one of the pillars of these results. Since 2014, Door-to-Door Recycling has completely transformed the recycling landscape in the region, now accounting for over 40% of the packaging collected.
