Portugal produced approximately 5.01 million tons of urban waste in 2020
Each person produced an average of 1.40 kg of urban waste per day
Sustainable waste management includes rules and procedures for collection, transportation, treatment, and valorization
Collection can be done door-to-door or from containers distributed throughout the area
Waste is separated and sent to treatment and valorization centers
Recycling and composting are the best ways to treat waste sustainably
Incineration produces energy but is a polluting process
Landfills are the last resort for waste that cannot be valorized
Waste should be seen as a resource to be managed, not as garbage to be eliminated
Priorities in waste management are reduction, repair, reuse, recycling, valorization, and landfilling as a last resort.
