We continue our journey with interviews, with the 4th one conducted in Cyprus on Wednesday, 24 March 2021. The volunteers of CCIF Cyprus interviewed Mr Doros Michael, the Director of Anakyklos Perivallontiki.
Anakyklos Perivallontiki is a Non-Profit Organisation and one of the first Social Enterprises in Cyprus. The main activity of the Social Enterprise is the recycling of fabrics, clothing, footwear, and other related items, linked to the company’s primary objective, the environmental sustainability through the recycling of fabrics, clothing, etc.
Additionally, Anakyklos Perivallontiki has broader environmental and social objectives. The interview conducted by our team was a part of the activities of the European Social Entrepreneur (ESE) Project.
