A project to reuse water in one of the areas of Portugal most affected by drought is noteworthy. As part of its commitment to more environmentally friendly solutions, Prio<\/a> has opened a new washing center in
Lagoa, Algarve (Portugal), which reuses 100% of the water used to wash cars.<\/p>\n

It should be remembered that the serious situation in the region has already led to the implementation of measures that require water supplies to be cut by 25% in the agricultural sector and 15% in the urban sector.<\/p>\n

This equipment recycles 100% of the water consumed, through a complex treatment system – which includes decantation, hydrocarbon separation, biological reactor and filtering phases – thus ensuring that the water once again has the right characteristics to be reused in the car wash cycle.<\/p>\n

In another aspect, but still as part of the drive for more sustainable practices, Prio has a project underway to close the life cycle of used cooking oil. They guarantee the allocation of collection points for the oils, which in turn are collected, transported, pre-treated and stored by dedicated waste management operators, who in the end forward\/trade them to Prio for the production of biodiesel.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
