Malta Worst At Recycling Plastic In EU In 2021

Oct 24 2023

According to recent statistics released by Eurostat, Malta registered the worst plastic recycling rate in the EU for the year 2021, just behind France and Sweden.

According to Eurostat, ’in 2021, Slovenia (50.0%), Belgium (49.2%) and the Netherlands (48.9%) recycled half, or almost half, of their plastic packaging waste generated.’

‘In contrast, less than one-quarter of plastic packaging waste was recycled in Malta (20.5%), France (23.1%) and Sweden (23.8%).’

Meanwhile, the recycling rate over all Member States ‘shifted from 41.1% in 2019 to 37.6% in 2020. In 2021, the recycling rate was back to an increasing path, marking 39.7%.’

Malta introduced the BCRS scheme late last year and has since noted a notable uptick in recycling. As of June 30th, 2023, the scheme had already seen 100 million beverage containers in over seven months since its introduction.

Oct 24 2023

Judy Craymer, producer of Mamma Mia!, has confirmed that a third instalment is in the works. While focused on her new talent show, “Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream,” Craymer assured fans that the third movie is a priority.

Universal Studios is on board, and Craymer has a storyline in mind. The key hurdle is getting approval from ABBA’s Bjorn and Benny, who require some convincing. Despite this, Craymer is optimistic about the project’s realisation.

Craymer intends to bring back Meryl Streep as Donna Sheridan for the third film, which is still in its early stages. She believes there’s a compelling story for a trilogy and thinks Streep would return if the script meets her expectations, as she deeply enjoyed portraying Donna.

Craymer envisions the potential third movie as a part of a second 25-year celebration, following the success of the television show.

In essence, Judy Craymer is confident that Mamma Mia! 3 will come to fruition, with Universal Studios backing the project. While there’s a need to persuade ABBA’s members, Craymer is optimistic. She also plans to bring Meryl Streep back into the fold, emphasising the importance of a compelling script for her return. The potential film is viewed as a continuation of the franchise’s success.
