Waste separation is more important than ever and here’s how you should do it

Waste separation is more important than ever and here's how you should do it
Apr 22 2022 Share

As well-intentioned individuals and organisations around the world persist against the crushing conditions of climate change, managing our waste has become more important than ever. WasteServ Malta is always appealing to the public to properly collect, separate and dispose of their waste to make the recycling process more efficient and while Malta gained a lot of ground in 2021, it has its sights set on a greener 2022.

WasteServ has recently launched a new educational campaign ‘Separate right, make our future bright’ in order to encourage everyone to separate their waste right. To help convey the message, WasteServ has engaged the help of three fictional characters – Commander Yellow, General Buzz and Garbage Monster – who are the protagonists of this educational campaign. These characters aim to make us more conscious of the waste we throw away every day and instil best practices when it comes to waste separation, starting with the recycling bag.

Unfortunately, WasteServ still finds the wrong things in the recycling bag. These range from organic waste, glass, textiles, electronic waste to medical and sanitary waste, and DIY materials such as wood scraps, tiles and rubble. Indeed, WasteServ estimates that around 25% of the items in the recycling bag are items that should not have been thrown in this bag.

Nowadays, managing the waste we generate at home is as important as it has ever been and while learning the definition of the 3Rs dates back to our primary school days, we are now responsible for putting into practice these three green points.

Reduce – as they say, prevention is better than cure. Consider what you are buying and use alternatives so as to reduce waste.

Re-use – rather than throwing items away, check whether the items can be repaired or repurposed, to be ultimately reused.

Recycle – this should be your last option after you’ve gone through the other R’s, and it is important that it is done right.

To make it easier for you to recycle more, WasteServ has also launched an online Waste Separation Guide. In this guide, you will find information on what goes in each bag as well as all the available waste disposal services.

A little effort to separate our waste right goes a long way towards making the island AND the planet a little bit greener. So, next time you make that trip to the recycle bin, make sure you are throwing in only clean plastic, metal, paper and cardboard.

Do you separate your waste?

In a recent Facebook post, Bolt stated that a decision was made three years ago to become the most sustainable mobility operator in the world. Since that decision, they are reported to have neutralised the environmental footprint of over 4.5 billion kilometres of Bolt rides and made Bolt scooters climate-positive.

The mobility operator had reported that they will be planting 11 million tree seeds to reforest degraded areas in Kenya. “As they grow into trees, they’ll help us neutralise the mobility footprint of all your Bolt rides and Bolt Food deliveries.”

In their Instagram post, Bolt Food Malta stated that if clients want to pick up their food instead of getting it home, it’s okay. “It’s good for you and your wallet as you’ll be saving money on delivery.”

Happy Earth Day!

Following last night’s airing of Mużika Mużika, many have taken to social media to express their opinions on the Maltese song festival and Valletta Cultural Agency Chairman Jason Micallef has nothing but praise for the festival.

Micallef claimed that Maltese song had never been celebrated and revered as much as the past two years, thanks to Mużika Mużika. He went on to state that the festival has reached unprecedented levels.

The VCA Chairman also stated that the festival has grown so much, that it is now considered one of Malta’s foremost festivals, more so than others. He concluded by stating that Mużika Mużika is at the forefront, whilst others follow.

This evening’s episode will be a night of classics, where Mużika Mużika contestants will collaborate with classic Maltese artists. At the end of the night, tomorrow’s 12 finalists will be announced.

What did you think of Mużika Mużika?
