The launch of the agreement between GreenPak and Pieta` Local Council took place on the 23rd June 2010.  Through this agreement GreenPak will take care of the locality's management of recyclable waste.

A new addition to the Malta Institute of Journalists Awards is the Environment Category with GreenPak as the sponsor of this award.

The 2010 ceremony of these awards was held on the 8th of May, which marked its 20th edition. In this year's edition, a record number of 82 entries were submitted in all categories.  The shortlisted nominees in the newly introduced Environment Category were: Mr. Lino Bugeja, Dr. Alan Deidun and Mr. Mario Micallef. Dr. Alan Deidun emerged as the winner for his write-ups in The Sunday Times of Malta.

Le Meridien Hotel & Spa, St Julians is now taking part in GreenPak’s Hotel Waste Recovery Scheme. GreenPak has been in operation since 2004 and recently the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association (MHRA) has asked GreenPak to assist hotels in their implementation of waste separation.

From the 1st April 2010, hotels in Malta are now being charged a landfill rate of €20 per tonne. Hotels are starting to take the necessary measures to recycle in order to contain these increased fees. Systems are either being introduced or further upgraded so that waste separation by hotel staffs is maximised, thus recovering large amounts of rubbish that would otherwise end up in landfill.

Birgu Local Council has teamed up with GreenPak to revise the system of the collection of recyclable domestic refuse in its locality. In fact, various sites were identified to increase the number of Bring In Sites around the City of Birgu.

The GreenPak Bring-in-Sites can be found, amongst other locations at:

Triq Mons. Pawlu Galea, Triq PeppiVella, Triq Il-Kardinal Fabrizio  Sciberras, Triq Il-Foss, Triq Il-Habs L-Antik,Triq San Lawrenz. Further details available from the Birgu Local Council website:

Nestlé has long been committed to recycling and ascertains that all products it places on the market are recycled. Today, Nestlé Malta is one of over 300 companies that are signed up with the GreenPak scheme and can therefore, use the Green Dot Malta trademark.

GreenPak has been given the green light by the Cooperatives Board to group its 300 members into a Co-operative Society, making it the largest cooperative and waste recovery scheme in Malta. Membership in the Coop gives each member the right of an equal vote on every important decision taken for their benefit, by the scheme.
