Rite Foods Aims for Zero Waste to Landfill by 2030

Rite Foods Limited has committed to achieving zero waste to landfill by 2030, aiming to enhance environmental sustainability in Ogun State. During the World Cleanup Day initiative, the Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Ekuma Eze, emphasized the importance of collaboration between the private sector and government in waste management.

Rite Foods distributed 600 coveralls to street sweepers, with 30% of the materials sourced from the company's waste. Eze explained that the initiative demonstrates the potential for waste to be repurposed into useful resources.

The partnership with the Ogun State Waste Management Authority (OGWAMA) is ongoing, reflecting Rite Foods' commitment to its host community. Farouk Akintunde Adeniyi, Special Adviser on Environment to the Ogun State Governor, praised Rite Foods for its corporate social responsibility efforts and urged other companies to follow suit.

The company aims to ensure that none of its operational waste ends up in landfills by 2030, promoting a circular economy.
