SDR Portugal revealed that six new packaging collection kiosks of the Volta system are now operational. These structures are available in Albufeira, Barcelos, Cascais, Funchal, Ponta Delgada and Vila Nova de Famalicão.

The kiosks are installed in restaurants, hotels and cafés, allowing consumers to return beverage packaging for recycling. The Volta system aims to facilitate the separation and collection of packaging waste.

SDR Portugal has set a target to install 50 Volta kiosks throughout the national territory. This reinforcement comes as part of a broader plan to expand the collection point network.

The program encourages citizen participation in the circular economy, promoting material reuse and contributing to environmental goals. The company continues to work on expanding the system's coverage.

Ibama authorizes Petrobras to expand activities in the Foz do Amazonas Basin

Ibama authorized on Thursday (4) Petrobras to expand drilling activities in the Foz do Amazonas Basin, on the Equatorial Margin. The operating license for block FZA-M-59 was amended to allow the drilling of three new wells off the coast of Amapá — Manga, PAD Morpho and Crotalus — completing the project originally planned in 2021, which called for up to four wells in the region. The decision, signed by the president of the environmental agency, Jair Schmitt, represents the full release of the state company's plan, after Ibama had granted in October 2025 only the license for the first Morpho well, keeping the others under review.
