The Shared Waste Solutions platform aims to awaken society and the business community to opportunities for waste recovery and disposal of by-products, while at the same time serving as a means of diffusing solutions and technologies that, due to lack of disclosure, do not economic sustainability. In this sense, any institution that supports the objectives of the platform or wishes to use the resources available to it can be registered.
Only institutional registrations will be accepted on the Shared Waste Solutions platform, and an institution should check if it is already registered ( http: // www. sws.uc.pt/index.php/en/parceiros ) before requesting a new registration. In the case of large institutions, which comprise several departments or working groups, it may be requested to register by the various departments, associating the name of the institution with the name of the department.
In the register, only general institutional data are requested, such as: name of the institution or working group, description of its activity, type of institution, geo-referencing, web address and contacts. Some contact details will also be requested from the person responsible for the registration, such as: name, e-mail, telephone.
