TURNING PLASTIC WASTE INTO CIRCULAR OPPORTUNITY - Cy Mail 1/4


A conversation with Blend Energy founder Daniel Davidov

As Cyprus strengthens its position as a regional hub for innovation and sustainability, companies working on real industrial solutions are becoming increasingly important to the island’s future. Among them is Blend Energy, a Limassol-based company developing advanced systems that convert mixed plastic waste into circular raw materials for the petrochemical industry.

We spoke with founder Daniel Davidov about his journey from oil and gas engineering to circular economy innovation, and his vision for Cyprus as a manufacturing hub for next-generation recycling technologies.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS SHOULD INCLUDE SPECIAL EDUCATION REPORT SAYS

PRIVATE SCHOOLS SHOULD INCLUDE SPECIAL EDUCATION REPORT SAYS - Cy Mail 3/4 by Rebekah Gregoriades


Special education should be provided in private schools as well, the office of the commissioner for administration and protection of human rights (ombudswoman) said in a report made public on Friday, following a complaint that a private school had refused to accommodate a student with a disability.

As a result, the student was obliged to leave the school.

The ombudswoman’s report said the school had not only failed to implement regulations set by the school itself and approved by the education ministry, but had downright refused to do so.
