Volta system does not show collection points in six municipalities of the Alentejo

The portal of Sistema Volta, which allows the collection of packaging through a deposit and refund system, did not show any collection point this Thursday in six municipalities of Alentejo: Alvito, Barrancos, Fronteira, Marvão, Mora and Mourão. The managing entity of the system states, however, that only the municipality of Mora does not effectively have a collection point registered in the region, suggesting that the absence of information in the other municipalities may be a technical issue with the portal. The system, which has been operating since April 10, aims to facilitate packaging recycling through a deposit and refund mechanism.

The protocols with the municipalities will be signed in September, with the expansion of the measure to other municipalities expected.
