An increase of 114 per cent in its door-to-door glass collection between 2013 and 2014 was registered by GreenPak Cooperative Society Ltd.

This means that over 514 tonnes of glass were collected last year, 274 tonnes more than 2013. Since the inauguration of the glass scheme in 2012, GreenPak has managed to divert over 819 tonnes of glass from landfills in Malta to be exported for recycling.

The door-to-door glass collection scheme is held every first Friday of the month, while in Gozo the service is operated every first Thursday.

GreenPak Coop Society CEO Mario Schembri said: “As the largest waste recovery scheme in Malta, GreenPak endeavours to instil awareness about recycling more glass, plastic, metal and paper through a range of services we offer.

“When we first launched the glass collection scheme, we knew it was another step towards increasing the recovery of recyclable materials more sustainably and feasibly. The decisions taken by an increasing number of local councils to migrate to GreenPak’s waste recycling scheme are further leading to significant results and helping in the national effort to reach EU recycling targets. We are determined to generate even better results this year,” Schembri added.
