Challenge vision

The concept of circular economy meets the ambition for sustainable development in the context of increasing pressure from the production and consumption of resources of the planet's environment. Until now, the economy was largely based on the "take-make-dispose" model, a linear model in which each product inevitably reaches the end of its useful life. Taking into accountthe limited space in the city centre of Nicosia, together with the high production of waste due to the services provided and the high volume of users, managing waste efficiently is crucial for the living environment of Nicosia.
