Hermes collects over 20kg of waste in beach clean up

Over 20kg of waste was collected from the beach at Pervolia by volunteers working as part of Hermes Airports’ fourth beach clean-up event.

The volunteers removed plastic bags, bottles, tins, cigarette butts as well as a lot of paper from the beach. Much of the waste collected was sent by Hermes for recycling.

Many of the Larnaca airport employees joined the recent event organised by Vantage Airport Group, one of Hermes’ shareholders, as well as representatives from the aviation security company ICTS. In total, around 50 volunteers too part.

This initiative falls in line with Hermes Airports’ award winning environmental action programme. Over the last five years and thanks to its environmental friendly policy, Hermes Airports has managed to reduce its electricity consumption by 30 per cent.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
