Larnaca municipality will install a special bin for plastic bottle caps at its temporary green spot so that these can be recycled. Net proceeds will go to support the municipal grocery for needy families, it said.

The move comes within the framework of its efforts to protect the environment and boost recycling. The plastic bottle gaps will be recycled by PCC CyPellets Recycling Ltd that operates a recycling plant where it recycles polyethylene to produce pellets that can be used as a raw material for a range of plastics, the municipality added.
