Historic Milestone for A.F.I.S. Cyprus: Total Battery Collection Exceeds One Million Kilograms!

A.F.I.S. Cyprus, the sole licensed battery management organization in Cyprus, proudly announces its 2025 results, marking a significant historic achievement: the collection of over one million kilograms of batteries since 2009! The participation of citizens and businesses in the effort for a greener Cyprus has yielded results, with 3,245 bin emptying operations carried out across the island and a total of 91,111 kilograms of portable batteries collected during 2025. This success is attributed to the involvement of citizens and businesses, as well as the expansion of the collection network, which now comprises 6,135 bins in strategic locations. A.F.I.S. Cyprus was founded in 2009 on the initiative of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) and battery importers, aiming to comply with European Directive 2006/66/EC. The organization continues to invest in public awareness and education regarding battery recycling.
