About the Program

The main goal of Re_Source is to co-develop impactful pilot projects that drive real change in the packaging waste sector.

Through a mission-oriented approach, innovators and partners collaborate to tackle systemic challenges and build scalable solutions. The program is led by Sociedade Ponto Verde, in collaboration with Beta-i, a leading innovation consultancy.

Sociedade Ponto Verde is the Portuguese organization responsible for managing the “take-back and recovery” of packaging waste, driving circularity through innovation.
