LIPOR celebrates its B Side with the Biodiversity Month

During the month of May, LIPOR and its Associated Municipalities celebrate Biodiversity with activities that aim to raise awareness among citizens about the issue of preserving and promoting natural resources. The initiative is part of LIPOR's strategic positioning, which presents Biodiversity as its B Side, since recycling and waste prevention from a circular economy perspective configures its mission and business.

Biodiversity Month initiatives will be promoted in LIPOR areas, namely Parque Aventura & Trilho Ecológico and Casa do Corim. Communication initiatives will also be carried out on the institution's digital channels.
