About Nirricikla Ghall-Istrina
Since 2011, GreenPak each year runs the Nirricikla Ghall-Istrina, a campaign linking recycling and charity for the common good. This has become a well-known nationwide campaign, and as the name of the campaign implies, the main aim of the campaign is to collect funds for Istrina.
Plastic caps are collected from various schools, local councils, companies & entities, and are sent for recycling.
The list of collection points where one may dispose of their plastic caps may be found
here.
In return at the end of the year, GreenPak gives a donation to the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation through Istrina. In the year 2019, the sum of €21,000 was donated to Istrina!
Plastic caps collected for this campaign are:
• Water bottles plastic caps
• Soft drink bottles plastic caps
• Jerry can & detergent plastic caps
• Milk & juice carton plastic caps
• Any other type of plastic cap that does not have foil or cardboard underneath the cap itself
Local Councils, companies, entities, bars & restaurants, can pay a registration fee which will be given as a donation to the MCCFF.
