Environment minister Aar- on Farrugia hailed the 10-year plan as "a quantum leap in waste management". He launched the official docu- ment which will then be up for public consultation between December 14 and January 18. The main objective for the waste management plan is to "maximise the resource val- ue for waste through holistic waste management solutions, and adopting a collaborative ap- proach whilst fostering behav- ioural change," the minister said. The document comes after over a year of consultation with stakeholders. "Today we have a high rate of landfilling and a low recycling rate with the second highest per capita waste generation in Europe, Farrugia said. "These measures will en- sure that Malta makes the much-needed quantum leap in waste management, that in- cludes activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final dispos- al," Farrugia said. The proposed plan is based on the following ten key courses of action, with measures, amongst others including: 1. Moving towards a circular economy: Fiscal incentives to promote repair and reuse activities; building of a repair and reuse centre; incentive use of recycled material. 2. Waste prevention: Online swap shops; digital app to publicize best practices and real-time information. 3. Waste separation: Mandatory separation for everyone including commercial outlets; introduction of new bag for separate collection of paper. 4. Waste collection: A move towards a regional approach which will lead to economies of scale; modernisation of fleet; introduction of a national schedule to harmonise collection. 5. Waste treatment infrastructure: ECOHIVE - state of the art plants to drastically decrease reliance on landfilling. 6. Extended producer responsibility: Exploring new EPR systems for disposing oils, tyres and textiles amongst others. 7. Commercial waste: Provision of additional free collections of organic waste; introduction of an eco- label for commercial outlets. 8. Educational campaigns, monitoring and compliance: Recruitment of green champions; increase enforcement to lessen abuses; publicly disclose non-compliant offenders by Government authorities. 9. Data management, research and development: Introducing advanced digital systems and artificial intelligence applications in solid waste management. 10. Stakeholder engagement: Working hand in hand with residents, local councils and regional government, the commercial sector, the industry and relevant government authorities. €500 million waste management investment hailed as 'quantum leap'
