In this episode of UnbrandMe, host Peter Grech sits down with Andrew Schembri, co-founder of Żibel, a pioneering NGO dedicated to cleaning Malta’s seas and raising environmental awareness. What started as a simple Facebook-organised beach cleanup has grown into a nationwide movement. Andrew shares how his experience in the family business helped him build Żibel into a successful NGO that bridges the gap between activists, the private sector, and the public.

From tackling sea pollution head-on by collecting waste from Malta’s seabeds to introducing innovative recycling solutions, Żibel is transforming challenges into opportunities. Tune in as Andrew discusses the importance of collaboration, education, and creative problem-solving to make a lasting impact on the environment and future generations.
