Project Xibka

Project Xibka

Every month, around 250 kg of fishing gear is collected by the NGO Zibel from the beaches and seabed of Malta. The association now wishes to go further by giving this waste a second life. To do so, two solutions are possible: recycling or reuse of the waste by local craftsmen, and storage of the waste for collection by the company NoFir, which will recycle it to use in new textile products. Communication on this project will be widely disseminated in order to encourage more responsible practices and raise awareness of the impacts of ghost fishing.
