The Auditor General Charles Deguara has said that Malta is lagging behind in attaining national and European waste management targets.
Deguara’s findings were presented in a performance audit report tabled in parliament by Speaker of the House Anglu Farrugia on Monday.
The report finds that inadequate waste separation at source is leading to recyclable waste being dumped in landfills. This, Deguara noted, is by far the most expensive solution from a financial and environmental standpoint.
