New horizons for life

Its presence in the environmental sector began in 1994 in Portugal through SUMA, in the segment of urban and industrial waste management and collection, urban cleaning and environmental education, to which it added competences in 2015 with EGF, a leading company in the sector, with cutting-edge European technology in the treatment and recovery of waste, as well as in energy production through the energy recovery plant and the capture of biogas in landfill.

Today, Mota-Engil Ambiente coordinates projects in this sector. As the leader in the Portuguese waste management market and with continuous investment in technological modernisation, Mota-Engil Ambiente is present throughout the value chain, from urban cleaning to the collection, treatment and recovery of waste, with industrial and technological units dedicated to recycling, selective sorting, energy recovery of waste (incineration and biogas) and organic recovery.

Internationally, Mota-Engil is active in this sector in Angola (Vista Waste), Mozambique (Ecolife), Brazil (SUMA Brasil), Oman (EcoVision) and Ivory Coast (Eco Eburnie and Clean Eburnie).

EGF is a leading European company in the environmental sector and a leader in the treatment and recovery of waste in Portugal. As part of the MOTA-ENGIL Group, it is responsible for ensuring that waste is treated and recovered in the most environmentally correct and economically sustainable way, helping to improve the quality of life and the environment.

The waste treatment and recovery systems are managed by 11 concession companies (Algar, Amarsul, Ersuc, Resiestrela, Resinorte, Resulima, Suldouro, Valorlis, Valorminho, Valnor, Valorsul), set up in partnership with the municipalities they serve, which process around 3.2 million tonnes of municipal waste (MW) every year, serving a population of 6.3 million people spread over 174 municipalities, in an area equivalent to 60% of Portugal’s territory.
