In a commendable display of public cooperation and engagement, **AFIS Cyprus has recycled a staggering total of 972,844 kilograms of batteries since its inception, with an impressive 37,161 kilograms collected in the first half of 2025 alone**[1][2]. This steady growth is a testament to the organisation's success in raising awareness and fostering active participation in battery recycling.
The organisation's dynamic approach to boosting brand awareness and public interaction is evident in their creative initiatives. Events such as the Battery Day Run, ice cream giveaways, and the "Greener Together" event at Mall of Cyprus have been well-received, while the Fork Food Market activation engaged a new audience[1][2].
AFIS Cyprus's focus remains on promoting awareness and sustainable waste management. They have been educating the public about battery recycling through school presentations, informational booths, and educational partnerships. In the first five months of 2025, they installed 55 new battery recycling bins to facilitate easier recycling access[1][2].
Every kilogram recycled by AFIS Cyprus means fewer toxic metals in the soil and water, contributing to a cleaner environment and a more responsible society.
