In July, shopping centers managed by Klépierre Portugal launched an initiative to promote zero waste: they made takeaway boxes available free of charge in their food courts so that visitors could take with them the leftovers from their meals.
Visitors to Aqua Portimão, Espaço Guimarães, and Parque Nascente joined in, and three months later, during Food Waste Awareness Month, the numbers are significant: at Parque Nascente, 120 kilograms of food were saved, at Espaço Guimarães 40 kilograms, and at Aqua Portimão 75 kilograms, for a total of 235 kilograms of food that was not wasted.
Instead of being thrown away, these leftovers became new meals.
Sustainability
The centers managed by Klépierre Portugal stand out for their initiatives aimed at sustainability and ecosystem protection, a commitment framed within the Act4Planet social and environmental responsibility axis.
This initiative aims to encourage a reversal of the current situation in Portugal, where it is estimated that around one million tons of food are wasted annually.
