Private Sector Collaboration Transforms Plastic Waste in Nigeria
The article discusses how private sector collaboration in Nigeria is tackling the issue of plastic waste, with initiatives like the Food and Beverage Recycling Alliance (FBRA) working to establish sustainable waste management practices. Nigeria generates an estimated 2.5 million tons of plastic waste annually, with only a small percentage effectively recycled.
Efforts are underway to drive policy reforms and institutionalize Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to ensure responsible post-consumer waste management. The collaboration aims to create a circular system for plastic waste management, promoting recycling infrastructure development and demand for recycled materials.
