"Our Municipality has invested in the future, through innovative methods and applications related to the circular economy and local waste management. We place great emphasis both on the training of our students and our municipality residents, as well as on new technologies by developing innovative information and control programs for all our waste production and the results are already visible"!

"For all of us in AB Vassilopoulos, Corporate Responsibility is tantamount to Respect. Respect for Man, Products and the Environment.

The mobile Recycling Center is again a unique initiative for us to bring recycling close to future generations, close to our children."
A total of 800 students, their teachers and residents of the Municipality visited the bus, attended our training program and recycled their packaging in the automatic recycling machine.
