FC Porto teams up with PreZero to hit the “Zero Waste” target | OneFootball

FC Porto has established a strategic partnership with PreZero, one of Europe’s leading environmental services companies, with the aim of making the club the first in Portugal to obtain the “Zero Waste” certification, by adopting circular economy practices and improving waste management.

As part of the agreement, the goal is to obtain the international standard DIN SPEC 91436, which recognizes organizations with circular and effective waste management systems. PreZero will provide consultancy and technical support to ensure the recovery of all waste produced by the club, avoiding disposal in landfills.

João Borges, vice-president of FC Porto, emphasized that this partnership constitutes an “important milestone in the club’s sustainability strategy” and strengthens FC Porto’s commitment to lead not only in sports, but also in environmental responsibility. “Achieving the DIN SPEC certification is more than a goal: it is proof of our commitment to protecting the planet and setting a standard of environmental excellence for Portuguese sports. With PreZero’s know-how, we will take a firm step towards a more circular and sustainable future,” said João Borges.

Gonzalo Cañete, CEO of PreZero Iberia, highlighted the shared ambition to make FC Porto a “benchmark for the Circular Economy in professional European football,” but warned that success depends on joint action. “For the Club to become the first in Portugal to achieve Zero Waste certification, a collective effort will be required, involving fans and all teams visiting the Stadium, since proper waste separation at the source will be crucial to achieving this great common goal,” he explained.

This initiative reinforces FC Porto’s commitment to sustainability and positions the club at the forefront of environmental responsibility in the national sports context.
