Did you know?
In Portugal, only 20% of the waste produced is actually recycled, leaving the rest to pile up in landfills or undergo expensive, energy-intensive recycling processes.
At Garbags, we offer an innovative alternative by repurposing used packages that would otherwise contribute to waste, turning them into eco-friendly products.
We don’t just reduce waste — we also support local businesses and promote job creation within the community.
By choosing Garbags, you’re helping keep materials out of landfills, while contributing to a greener, more sustainable economy.
Feel like cooperating? Save waste, earn rewards, and Go Green with Garbags!
Collect the equivalent of one recycling bag (about 50 x 60 cm) of used packages,
and after 10 donations you’ll get a FREE GIFT of your choice, up to 10 EUR!
What are we looking for?
At Garbags, we are always on the lookout for used packaging that can be repurposed into stylish, sustainable products. Here’s a list of what we’re currently accepting:
- Tetrapak packages (milk & juice)
- Coffee packages & disposable capsules
- Toothpaste tubes
- Shampoo and shower gel bottles
- Chocolate wrappers
- Chips and snack packages
- Pet food packaging
- Publicity banners
- Inner tubes
- Cereal boxes
- Colorful plastic bags
- Umbrellas
- Comics and Lisbon-related magazines
We also love to be surprised by original, unusual materials—we’re always coming up with new ideas, and you might have something that sparks our next upcycling project!
