This year has been successful in terms of the collection of used small batteries with an increase of 2.4 per cent.

By October, 70,035 kilogrammes of batteries for recycling were collected by the AFIS organisation, exceeding 68,376kgs the previous year.

In addition, 162 new recycling bins were installed throughout Cyprus, facilitating access and the recycling process.

Also aiming to further inform and raise awareness among the public, AFIS participated in school presentations, festivals and various educational events.

Since November the AFIS campaign has been running to inform people about the toxicity of the batteries, through social and digital media.
