“In line with what is already happening in several European countries, the Recaps initiative represents an innovative milestone in the Portuguese business and environmental panorama, by ensuring that used coffee capsules are correctly disposed of and recycled. This effort by the main companies in the sector is the result of a clear commitment to the circular economy and to reducing the ecological footprint”, states the law firm in a press release.
SRS Legal has provided specialized legal advice to both AICC and the founding companies of Recaps, leading all the corporate and compliance aspects necessary for setting up the company.
