“Use By” vs “Best Before” Labels

Confused by food date labels? You’re not alone. This infographic breaks down the difference between the two — and why understanding them can help reduce unnecessary food waste while keeping us safe.

Why Compost?

Each year, thousands of tonnes of food and organic waste in Cyprus end up in landfills, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, unpleasant odors, and lost resources. But there’s a simple, powerful solution available to each of us: composting.

At Zero Waste Alliance Cyprus, we believe composting is more than a waste management tool, it’s a climate action and a community-strengthening practice.
