Vassiliko Cement enlisted to dispose of waste tyres

Vassiliko Cement has received 1800t of old tyres from the Dali industrial area of Cyprus in an attempt by the Ministry of Agriculture to safely manage the amount of waste tyres being stored in an environmentally-friendly way.

Vassiliko Cement is a licensed management facility for disposal of waste tyres. Following the successful completion of this first phase, the ministry added, the transportation and management of tyre waste stored in a quarry site in Agios Sozomenos will soon begin.

The transfer of the illegally-stored tyres from the Dali industrial zone and Agios Sozomenos had begun in August 2018.
