Sixteen schools in Madeira collected a total of over 21 tons of end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, and accumulators as part of the 18th edition of the Geração Depositrão initiative.
The initiative, promoted by ERP Portugal in partnership with ABAAE, aims to encourage responsible environmental practices and sustainability as practical learning. The Doutor Luís Maurílio da Silva Dantas Basic and Secondary School in Câmara de Lobos stood out, collecting over 14 tons and ranking 5th nationally.
Nationwide, the edition involved over 345,000 students and 473 schools, contributing to the proper disposal of approximately 470 tons of waste. ERP Portugal highlights the students' multiplier effect in raising awareness among families and communities for correct recycling.
