To Be Green

Recycling masks will give your Christmas tree a whole new life. This Christmas, close the cycle.

We have joined To Be Green, a spin-off from Minho University, to promote the recycling and valuation of used disposable masks by giving them a new life, extending their use.

To Be Green aims at reducing the environmental impact associated to the use of disposable masks when fighting the Covid-19 pandemics. These masks are usually thrown into the general waste containers.

The masks used are recycled and converted into resistant polypropylene polymeric structures, useful for multiple purposes.

All these waste collections, transport and processing are made according to the strictest safety conditions to ensure the non-contamination of the virus.

The new products that are created as of used disposable masks are transformed into small Christmas decorations such as sleds, stars, trees, and snowflakes to decorate your Christmas tree.

The 4 Christmas decorations packs are available in 50 CTT Post offices throughout  the country,  but also online

Solidary Project


This project is also solidary:

  • The boxes, made from recycled cardboard, are produced by Centro Juvenil de São José de Guimarães, an institution that helps children in risk of social exclusion.
  • For each pack of 4 decorations sold, 2€ are to help Cáritas Diocesana de Viseu

 

By taking part in this initiative, you are contributing to the promotion of a more responsible consumption and to the development of a better life for these young children.

Contribute, and this Christmas give your home a more sustainable glow!
