The government is to issue a request for proposals for an effective and efficient waste disposal system of plastic, Environment Minister Leo Brincat said yesterday.
The large amount of plastic bottles on land and at sea was a huge problem, he said.
Together with European Environment Commissioner Karmenu Vella, Mr Brincat yesterday visited the Blue Grotto in Żurrieq, the site of a clean-up campaign organised by the civil movement Let’s Do It.
