Environmental authority approves new waste recycling facility in Dali

The Environmental Authority of Cyprus has officially approved the conversion of an industrial warehouse in the Idalio municipality into a specialized facility for the management and recycling of hazardous waste streams. The project, valued at 1.3 million euros, was proposed by Flanxo Holdings Ltd, with WEEE Cyprus serving as the primary operator, and received official authorization on October 20, 2026, following review by the Nicosia District Self-Government Organization.

The new facility is designed to handle sensitive waste materials that have historically been improperly disposed of, such as electronic equipment, batteries, and expired medicines. The site is expected to process approximately 5,000 tonnes of electronic waste annually, alongside significant quantities of batteries (90 tonnes), toners (50 tonnes), and fluorescent lamps (35 tonnes). Operations will include secure receipt, document verification, visual inspection, weighing, and manual sorting to ensure environmentally sound recovery and recycling processes.
