In 2010 Portugal already exceeded the 2011 target of recycling 55 per cent of its packaging waste, sending some 667,863 tonnes of household packaging waste for recycling, Portugal's green dot scheme Sociedade Ponto Verde (SPV) announced on 16 February. According to SPV, in 2010 Portugal recycled 59 per cent of its packaging waste, 11 per cent more than the year before with glass being the only material that failed to reach its 2011 60 per cent target.
