‘Recycle for L-Istrina’ (Irriċkla għall-Istrina) is a new initiative by Green Pak to collect funds for L-Istrina through recycling.

The campaign, launched recently at Fgura primary school, encourages primary school students to contribute to local charities while also increasing their commitment to recycling.

Green Pak has supplied around 50 primary schools with recycling bins into which students can drop any plastic bottle caps they collect. The more caps they collect, the bigger is their school’s donation towards L-Istrina.

Green Pak will weigh the total caps collected by each school and will donate €1 per kilogramme or €1,000 per tonne towards L-Istrina.

Market price for selling such material is much less than this, but Green Pak will contribute the difference to support the Malta Community Chest Fund.

For more information and to see the list of all the schools taking part visit www.greenpak.com.mt and Facebook.
