Recycle
Recycle
The CySEC recycles many of the materials it uses, such as paper, plastic and batteries, in order to contribute to the saving of energy and raw materials and to the reduction in the volume of garbage and their effect on the environment. For that purpose, it has special recycle bins in different locations within and out of the CySEC building to recycle the scrap paper.

By collecting and recycling of these materials, the penetration of the substances in the environment is prevented and energy and natural resources are saved.
