Environment Minister Leo Brincat said yesterday the implementation of the waste management plan focused on four priorities.
Minimising landfill waste, making better use of construction waste, managing electronic waste and moving closer to achieving EU targets on recycling were the main targets. The ministry also aims to introduce a third system of waste collection for organic material after consultation with local councils.
The statement was made following the first meeting of the stakeholders group set up to advise the government on the plan’s implementation.
