The Portuguese food and drink industry’s commitment to circularity is not new and has decades of work and proven experience behind it.
The Portuguese food and drink federation, FIPA, is a party to, at institutional level, the “Circular Agreement”, established with APA (Portuguese Agency for the Environment), and to the “Portuguese Pact for Plastics” as well as a key contributor to European knowledge and development projects as the PEFMED .
With regard to the daily commitment of companies in the sector, more are developing sustainable packaging every year – with efforts to move to more recyclable packaging, making better use of by-products for composting, distillery or energy recovery, and in encouraging the best recycling practices from the consumer.
