The success story of the new recycling line at the Sant’Antnin complex and the export of 6,550 tonnes of glass, the government, through WasteServ, prevails to show its determination at enhancing its recycling performance.

An extensive recycling operation is currently underway with the sorting of recyclable material that has been collected on the Għallis landfill over the past three years. Through this operation, hundreds of tonnes of aluminium and metal recyclables are being given a new life as they re-enter the production chain to be transformed into new products.
Aaron Farrugia, Minister for the Environment, Climate Change and Planning, announced this during a visit to the operation with WasteServ CEO Richard Bilocca, where around 12 tonnes of materials are being processed every day.
Minister Farrugia said: “This is another step towards a circular economy. We are determined to improve Malta’s environmental performance as we keep tackling one challenge after the other.”
The Ministry is also planning to roll-out a new waste management plan that will consolidate these improvements with a concrete long-term approach.
