Cyprus' AFIS Reaches Milestone: Over 1 Million Kilograms of Batteries Collected!

AFIS Cyprus announced exceeding one million kilograms of total battery collection since 2009, a historic milestone for the organization. This success is due to the participation of citizens and businesses in recycling, with 91,111 kilograms of portable batteries collected in 2023 through 3,245 bin emptying operations. AFIS Cyprus, founded by the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) and battery importers, has invested in public awareness and education, creating an extensive collection network with 6,135 bins across Cyprus. The organization aims to reduce toxic waste and protect the environment.
