Students and lecturers from the Environmental Management and Sustainability course at the Seixal Vocational Training Centre – IEFP visited the Seixal Ecopark Sorting Centre.

Amarsul has joined Earth Hour 2026, a global movement that mobilises millions of people and organisations worldwide in defence of nature. The company marked the occasion symbolically by organising an internal pause that brought staff together for a moment of reflection and collective commitment.

Pupils and teachers from Carlos Gargaté Primary and Secondary School visited the Seixal Ecopark Sorting Centre, giving participants the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of waste management and recovery practices, and to observe the main processes involved in the sorting and handling of recyclable waste, from its reception through to preparation for recycling.

The XXX Cheese, Bread and Wine Festival, which will take place from 27 to 29 March in São Gonçalo, Palmela, is a prestigious gastronomic event that promotes and celebrates the traditional flavours of the Arrábida region. The event has been awarded the Amarsul Eco-event seal, in recognition of its commitment to sustainable practices and responsible waste management.

Students on the Master’s in Environmental Engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, visited the Setúbal and Palmela Ecopark Composting Plant. During the visit, they observed the main processes involved in the recovery of organic waste, from reception through to the production of compost, thereby strengthening their practical knowledge of sustainable waste management.

In February, Amarsul hosted a group of students from the Complementary Training Course in Environmental Engineering at the Open University of Lisbon, located in the Seixal Ecopark. During the visit, participants had the opportunity to see firsthand how the Sorting Plant operates, consolidating their knowledge of waste recovery and deepening their understanding of the role of the circular economy in promoting more sustainable solutions.
