Agricultural waste, such as vegetable and fruit scraps and tree trimmings, will be processed by ACR+ member WasteServ Malta and turned into quality compost to be used by farmers.

A composter will process agricultural waste coming from farmers and the Pitkalija vegetable market. This equipment, with a capacity of 15 tonnes, will produce around 8 tonnes of compost per cycle, with each cycle taking about two weeks. This follows an agreement between WasteServ Malta and the Malta Food Agency, whereby the latter will distribute this compost to farmers free of charge.
