Cyta first Cyprus company to have almost zero waste sent to landfills

State telecoms company Cyta said it has become the first organisation in Cyprus with close to zero waste going to the landfills.

The organisation has been verified by TUV Cyprus, which confirmed that it recycled more than 95 per cent of its waste.

The company said it recycles 95.5 per cent of waste produced by its operations – paper, plastic, cables, batteries, vehicles, organic waste, poles, ink cartridges, tyres, wood, and others, throwing only 4.5 per cent into landfills.

Cyta said its goal was to maintain and further reduce the waste that was not recycled.

The company’s environmental policy was formed in 2001 with the pledge to offer products and services that contribute to sustainable growth.

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.
