Challenges in Recycling Electrical and Electronic Devices in Cyprus

February 24, 2026

Cyprus continues to face challenges in recycling electrical and electronic devices. Despite purchasing 14.20 kilograms of equipment per person in 2023, only 3.8 kilograms are returned for recycling. Many old devices are stored at home or illegally disposed of. New towers with modern electrical systems reduce the available quantities for recycling. Measures are being planned to enhance awareness and recycling efforts.
