Environment: SDR 'blames' platform and ensures that Penedono and Sernancelhe have Volta points

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 13:53

The Deposit and Refund System (SDR) has clarified that the municipalities of Penedono and Sernancelhe actually have collection points for the Volta system, contradicting a list that indicated these municipalities as lacking equipment. The entity responsible for the system guarantees that the incorrect information is due to an outdated platform, not corresponding to the reality on the ground. The SDR assured that in both municipalities there are collection points available for citizens. This situation raises questions about the reliability of consumer information platforms regarding the collection points for deposit-bearing packaging existing in the country.
