SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 15:06

An online petition against the "Volta" system already has over 37 thousand signatures. The document calls for the "immediate suspension" of the collection and refund system in question.

In addition to the suspension, the signatories advocate for an independent audit of SDR Portugal's operations. This audit should cover the financial, operational and environmental aspects of the company.

The "Volta" system is a collection and refund mechanism that has been generating controversy among the petition's signatories. The protest continues to gather public support.

Why this matters

The petition against the "Volta" system demonstrates growing public opposition to this collection and refund system. The signatories demand not only its suspension, but also an independent audit of SDR Portugal, covering the financial, operational and environmental dimensions of the company.
