Alghero plastic waste management dispute

Overview

In Alghero, political opposition has emerged regarding the management of a plastic waste crisis. Forza Italia councilors are contesting the local administration’s decision to use the Palacongressi di Maria Pia for temporary plastic waste storage, arguing that such a move harms the environment, tourism, and urban decorum in a central tourist area.

To address the crisis, councilors suggested utilizing unused industrial areas in San Marco and Ungias-Galanté, or the posidonia treatment plant platform. They also proposed the temporary requisition of suitable private or public spaces and recommended investing between 200,000 and 300,000 euros in a plastic densification plant to reduce waste volume by up to 87.5% through mechanical-thermal treatment.
