With its population of less than half a million people, the Mediterranean island nation of Malta may seem like an unusual place for the subject of an article about infrastructure development. But Malta is also home to the fastest growing population in Europe and the EU’s third fastest growing economy. The growth of both metrics calls for a long-term infrastructure plan and capital investment to deliver it.

When Business Excellence last visited Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), the focus of the interview was the changes that Mozambique was undergoing. The company had just received financing from the World Bank and the European Investment Bank to the tune of $200 million and plans were being put in place to improve the energy links that existed between Mozambique and neighbouring countries like South Africa.


The recently re-elected president of Tanzania, John Magufuli stated in November 2020 that his government predicts economic growth of 8% for the country over the next five years.  This isn’t unreasonable given that the country’s GDP has grown by a CAGR of around 7% over the five years of Mr. Magufuli’s first mandate. Given that over half of the country’s export income comes from gold, the success of Shanta Gold is inextricably tied with the fortunes of Tanzania.


Lithium, the lightest of all metals, is one which almost everyone has heard of, but just a portion of people are aware of its modern day importance. To draw an analogy, lithium is to the 4th industrial revolution (the mass digitization which the world is currently undergoing) as steel was to the first industrial revolution. It is an essential component of the rechargeable batteries which keeps the fourth industrial revolution moving.


When we think of the most innovative companies in the world, our mind tends to wander to companies in North America, Europe and Asia. But there’s a world of innovation that exists in the southern hemisphere that we’ve become coded to ignore. Latin America has given the world some of its most enduring innovations, and continues to be a focal point for the world’s most valuable intellectual property.

Industrial waste management is one of the most important chapters of the environmental agenda in developed societies. Industry continues to be the engine driving the global economy, and industrial waste management has a vast impact on the sustainability value chain. In addition, the technological revolution and the digitalisation of society has boosted the presence of new products using hazardous materials. In this context, the management and valorization of these wastes has acquired an enormous relevance that is translated into the development of national and international legislations of obligatory fulfillment.
 

Contributing to the circular economy

Sertego has an operative and logistic network distributed all over the peninsula and islands, which allows it to manage any type of waste in any part of the country. This waste is treated at used oil regeneration plants, and sale of base lubricants, at MARPOL waste treatment plants and sale of fuels and at industrial waste disposal sites (hazardous and non-hazardous). We also develop recovery and recycling treatments at some of our other waste management facilities.
 

We help our clients to be sustainable

At Sertego, we are experts in offering our clients solutions so that they can comply with all legal requirements for managing their waste. Our goal is to convert this waste into recycled products to reintroduce them into the production cycle, convinced that all waste can be recycled.
