DECO association is to offer an email address (plasticoamais@deco.pt) to receive pictures and reports of unnecessary use of plastic, with the images then being forwarded to the producers and retailers.

DECO said in a statement that it is to ask those producers and retailers to present solutions to reduce the use of plastic or alternatives.

DECO said it has already shared concerns and this action with the ministry of environment and energy transition and the secretary of state for consumer protection and added that a small act of a consumer can contribute to a company changing their behaviour.
