limpeza da poluição costeira. Atribuir valor econômico aos resíduos incentivou a participação da
comunidade e a colaboração com o setor privado.

gestão de resíduos, combinada com tecnologia avançada de monitoramento através do

Equidade

locais nas atividades de limpeza e reciclagem.

Contribute to the Project

Companies and other interested parties are encouraged to contribute financially by purchasing Blue Coins that represent the value of the waste collected and recycled. These funds are then used to sustain and expand pollution clean-up and recycling activities, ensuring the continuity of environmental efforts. For example, a contribution of €228 will enable the removal of 1 tonne of waste from the environment, with 14% of this amount allocated to AMOR’s fixed costs.
