Project on Ice: Waste transports from Ibiza and Formentera to Palma temporarily halted

Answer

Why have waste transports from Ibiza and Formentera to Mallorca been put on hold?

The planned transfers were delayed because the necessary decree was blocked in parliament. That means the pilot project to send residual waste by ferry to Palma’s Son Reus plant cannot move ahead for now. The pause affects not only the paperwork, but also the wider logistics and funding arrangements between the islands.
