A total of 1,800 tonnes of used tyres have been taken from Dali industrial zone to the Vasiliko Cement Works where they will be processed in a way that safeguards public health and protects the environment, the Agriculture Ministry said.
The ministry will now begin transferring used tyres that are stored in a quarry at Ayios Sozomenos to the same location.
The ministry has signed an agreement with Vasiliko Cement Works to process refuse such as the used tyres.
