Recycling Initiatives in Nigeria: Turning Waste into Wealth

This infographic highlights Nigeria's recycling initiatives aimed at turning waste into valuable resources. With the country generating over 32 million metric tonnes of waste annually and only 20-30% being recycled, these initiatives focus on PET plastics, which are notoriously difficult to manage. Key programs like RecyclePoints, Trash2Wealth, and Chanja Datti are making recycling more accessible by offering rewards for waste collection and using technology to simplify the process. The infographic details the significant economic benefits, including job creation and revenue generation from PET recycling, while emphasising the critical role these efforts play in creating a cleaner and more sustainable future for Nigeria.
