NOVA University Lisbon stood out as one of more than 200 institutions that participated in the 2nd edition of the campaign “Everyone for the IPO – Recycling is good for health and the environment”, promoted by Electrão in collaboration with the Portuguese Oncology Institute of Lisbon Francisco Gentil (IPO Lisbon). This initiative resulted in collecting 293 tonnes of used cells, batteries, and electrical equipment for recycling, helping to raise €30,700.
IPO Lisbon will now use the amount raised to purchase essential medical equipment, strengthening its ability to provide quality healthcare.
NOVA’s active participation in this campaign reflects its commitment to sustainable and socially responsible practices. In recognition of its contribution, NOVA received a certificate of participation that can be used in reports and communications on social and environmental responsibility actions.
The success of this initiative highlights the importance of collaboration between different entities for noble causes that benefit both public health and the environment. The “Everyone for IPO – Recycling is good for health and the environment” campaign promotes recycling and strengthens IPO Lisboa’s mission to provide essential medical care to its patients.
