Packaging
Malta has skills in glass, cardboard, plastic, steel, but produces little of its own packaging. Packaging imports end up in landfill. Malta could innovatively create a stockpile of recycled materials to displaced imports, & profitably expand local businesses.

What A Waste
Malta’s few natural resources are abundant: sunshine, fresh air, seawater – and sh*t from cows, pigs, goats and poultry.
Manure disposal is a problem.
Making odourless fertiliser pellets is a €400m p.a. export opportunity.
The technology is standard.

Transportation Sustainability
Is Malta small enough to abolish all petrol vehicles?
Could Malta electrify its fishing fleet?
Could Malta manufacture synthetic aviation fuel?
Could Malta host a hydrogen-fuelled regional airline?
Yes, to all – but is it bold enough?

Malta has no oil wells All energy is imported
With sunshine, sea-water, fresh air & new technology in solar electricity & hydrogen fuel Malta could become autonomous for energy
Where could Malta build a big enough solar farm? Libya’s too risky but better options are close

Fishy Business
The baitfish fed to Malta’s farmed tuna in 1 year would feed Malta’s population for 35.6 years. 70% of farmed tuna is wasted at slaughter. 36,900 tonnes of tuna waste is dumped at sea, each year. This is unsustainable but legal. We could do much better. heyzine.com/flip-book/cb...

It could be good – positive - exciting. The glass could be half full. Is there enough political appetite for change?

Sites across Scotland which burn rubbish caused more climate pollution than ever before last year with some spewing out toxic chemicals such as mercury and arsenic, The Ferret has found. Six facilities which burn household waste produced nearly 900,000 tonnes...

Small island states face similar problems. Too small to feed their people. No oil wells. If supply chains break, people die. Subservience to benefactor states is unreliable. In health or military crises they are easily sacrificed. How is sovereign autonomy possible?

I’m starting a dialogue on sustainability. I’ll challenge linear thinking, create opportunities for politicians, businesses, activists, entrepreneurs, educators. It will be controversial, non-political, researched but not philosophical. Pragmatic but entrepreneurial. Follow me to share the journey.
