EGARs and LER codes
I am filling out the authorization request for use of the System and I have questions about the LER code. Where can I find this information?
Information regarding the LER code is available on the EGF Group companies' website, in the User Area tab. The current price lists can be found in the documentation section. If you don't know which company receives and processes waste in your region, follow this link: www.egf.pt/pt/contactos/empresas/
I have questions about filling out the documentation and using the SILiAmb platform. Can you help me?

What is e-GAR?
The e-GAR is an electronic waste transport document, free of charge and mandatory for anyone who produces waste or needs to transport it. In Portugal, the law requires the issuance of a document for the transport of goods, and the same applies to waste. To issue the e-GAR, simply access the SILiAmb portal https://siliamb.apambiente.pt/pages/public/login.xhtml and follow the recommended steps, and if you have any questions about this process, click here https://apoiosiliamb.apambiente.pt/content/perguntas-frequentes?language=pt-pt Don't forget, if you have waste and need to transport it to an operator, you will have to issue an e-GAR (electronic waste management document), or you will be subject to a fine and you may not be able to unload it.
What is the LER Code?
The European Waste List (EWL/LER) classifies waste, taking into account its origin and the industrial activity that generates it. The EWL/LER code is a six-digit code that identifies each waste, and codes marked with an asterisk (*) correspond to hazardous waste.
What is the SILiAmb platform?
The Integrated Environmental Licensing System (SILiAmb) is a platform created to make contact between citizens and the services of the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) more efficient and faster.
