Faro hosts regional conference on Algarve waste management and circular economy

The Algarve regional development commission (CCDR), working with Loulé municipality, is holding a conference called "Resíduos: Um Futuro Urgente" on 13 November at the University of Algarve's Gambelas campus in Faro. It brings together municipal officials, universities, waste utilities, companies and sector experts. The day is split into two strands: urban waste, covering good practice elsewhere in Portugal and the Algarve's own challenges, and non-urban waste, focused on circular economy and recovery of materials. The organisers say they want to share experience, encourage innovative solutions and strengthen cooperation between institutions. Registration is through an online form.
