In the packaging and packaging waste stream, the target was reached with a recycling rate of 63% in 2019.
For used lubricant oils, the recycling rate was 91% in 2019, exceeding the set national target. The performance of the entity managing for this flow allowed for the fulfilment of the target defined in the respective license.
For the assessment of the targets for used tires, those contained in the license of the managing entity of the integrated system were considered, with the rate achieved (62%) falling short of the established target of 65%.
As for end-of-life vehicles, the national reuse/recycling rates obtained have enabled the achievement of the national and EU target defined in 2006 (80%). However, the most demanding target for reuse/recycling (85%) was not met, standing 1% below what is determined by law.
The Construction and Demolition Waste flow, despite being a specific waste flow, is not covered by the producer's extended responsibility. The data collected regarding the Construction and Demolition Waste flow for the years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 ensures compliance with the target established for 2020.
For portable batteries and accumulator waste streams there is no associated recycling rate but there is a collection rate. In 2017 the value of this rate was 39.5%, in 2018 it was 31.0% and, in 2019, the same value was obtained.
As for the recycling of batteries and accumulators, national legislation stipulates that recycling operators must observe a minimum recycling yield of 65%, by mass, of waste lead-acid batteries and accumulators, including the recycling of the highest possible content of lead that is technically feasible while avoiding excessive costs.
In Portugal, there are two recycling operators for waste lead-acid accumulators, with yields of 73.7% and 71.7% respectively.
