Volta System collects more than 305 million packages in five months

Diário de Aveiro10 September 2026 at 17:30

The Volta System, responsible for packaging management in Portugal, achieved the collection of more than 305 million packages in just five months of operation. This number represents a significant milestone for the return system implemented in the country.

The growth in the use of the collection network has been consistent throughout the operating period. The average number of packages returned to the system is currently around five million packages per day, which demonstrates the growing involvement of consumers in the recycling process.

This performance indicates an increasingly widespread adoption by the Portuguese population, who have been using the available drop-off points to return their packages. The system has been establishing itself as an effective solution for packaging waste management in the country.
