Sogrape Recovers 98% of its Waste and Reinforces Commitment to the Circular Economy
On International Zero Waste Day, marked on 30 March, Sogrape reaffirms its commitment to the circular economy and to reducing environmental impact across the value chain. Responsible waste management and the prevention of landfill disposal remain key priorities within the Seed the Future Global Sustainability Programme.
In 2025, Sogrape Portugal generated approximately 2,034 tonnes of waste, 98% of which was recovered. Only 48.83 tonnes were sent to landfill. Between 2022 and 2025, despite an increase associated with facility modernisation processes, the waste recovery rate remained consistently high, rising from around 97% in 2022 to 98% in 2025, demonstrating a strong commitment to the efficient use of resources.
In the area of packaging, and in partnership with Sociedade Ponto Verde, the company ensured the recycling of 57% of the packaging placed on the market in 2024, avoiding approximately 625 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
This performance is the result of several circular economy initiatives, including reducing bottle weight, optimising the product-to-packaging ratio per pallet, reassessing logistics distribution chains, and incorporating recycled or certified raw materials. These actions reinforce Sogrape’s commitment to a more efficient and responsible production model, aligned with a zero-waste vision.
