ALGAR will be taking part in the 19th edition of Children and the Environment Week, organised by the Municipality of Olhão, with the aim of raising awareness among younger generations of the importance of proper waste management, recycling and adopting sustainable behaviours. The initiative will take place on 28 and 29 May and 1, 2 and 3 June, under the theme “Growing Up and Caring for the Climate to Change”. The initiative involves all the nursery schools and primary school classes in the municipality, bringing together around 3,500 children, with the aim of marking World Children’s Day and World Environment Day through a series of awareness-raising and environmental education activities.

On World Recycling Day, celebrated on May 17th, we remember that every gesture counts and every choice matters. Therefore, we highlight the Tons of Help campaign, a solidarity initiative that combines recycling with social responsibility, which made it possible to grant more than €50,000 to social solidarity institutions last year, in the form of financial compensation for recyclable material delivered to Algar's facilities. These amounts positively impacted approximately 18,000 people through the support provided by 120 institutions that participated in the campaign. The EGF Tons of Help campaign is aimed at social and non-profit institutions in Portugal and is available in Algar's area of ​​operation, regionally, and in approximately 60% of the national territory, through the 11 concessionary companies of the EGF group. 522 tons of waste sent for recycling Throughout 2025, the institutions that participated in this campaign sent 522 tons of packaging for recycling: 511 tons of paper/cardboard, 7 tons of plastic/metal, and 4 tons of glass. Each entity receives monetary compensation, depending on the quantity and flow of material delivered to the EGF companies' facilities.

Selective collection maintains positive trend and energy produced from waste exceeds 500 GWh. EGF, the leader in urban waste treatment and recovery in Portugal, recorded significant progress in its main operational indicators in 2025, particularly in the treatment and recovery of biowaste and selective collection, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability, innovation and operational efficiency.

Please be advised that, due to the general strike scheduled for 11 December 2025, there may be occasional disruptions to the reception and unloading of waste at our facilities throughout the day.

The Mota-Engil Group is deeply saddened to announce that António Mota, the Group's long-standing leader who served as its chairman for more than 27 years, from 1995 to January 2023, passed away this morning in the city of Porto. Today we bid farewell to an extraordinary man, a visionary entrepreneur who leaves behind a unique legacy, known for his humanistic spirit and solidarity with society, and the mark he left on everyone who knew him.

The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) 2025 takes place between November 22nd and 30th, with a special focus on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), a rapidly growing stream with a strong environmental impact. The initiative also aims to promote the essential principles of reduction, reuse, and recycling, encouraging citizens, public and private entities to adopt more sustainable practices.
