Speaking while declaring open a stakeholders’ meeting on Plastic Waste Recycling, held in Anambra state, the state commissioner for environment, Dr.  Felix Odimegwu said, “plastic waste becomes a menace to the environment when not separated and channelled for recycling.”

He highlighted the alignment of the Nigeria Plastic Solutions Activity with Anambra’s strategic vision for sustainable development.

Odimegwu also announced the second season of the ‘All Anambra Communities Plastic Waste Recovery Challenge’, aiming to reduce waste, promote recycling, and create employment for the residents, reinforcing the state’s commitment to a cleaner, greener future.

He said, partnering on projects like this, is one of several ways through which the state government is creating awareness on the importance of waste separation for recycling and generating economic prosperity through the circular economy.

The country director of Technoserve Nigeria, Adesuwa Akinboro, represented by the senior program manager, Benneth Obasiohia emphasised the importance of collaboration in combating plastic pollution in the state.

She noted that the project sought to boost local economies and also create sustainable livelihoods, not forgetting Nigeria’s significant contributions to global plastic waste, of which only 12 percent is being recycled in the country.

Obasiohia urged stakeholders to work together, stressing that the success of the initiative depends on collective action for a cleaner, greener future in Anambra State.

The event featured insightful presentations,  by Professor Emma Ezenwaji, chairman of the Anambra State Waste Recyclers Association (ASWRA) board of directors, on strategic partnerships for improved waste management service delivery in Anambra State and Franklin Nwaribe, senior business advisor, provided an overview of the Nigeria Plastic Solutions Activity.

Dr. Jude Ezeanokwasi from the Faculty of Law at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, emphasised the growing importance of waste management policy and regulations in Anambra State.

He noted that these policies have become not just necessary but sacrosanct, reflecting the urgent need for structured and effective waste management practices to safeguard the environment.

The Nigeria Plastic Solutions Activity is dedicated to intercepting plastic waste at source and transforming it into valuable resources, creating jobs, and fostering sustainable communities.

This initiative exemplifies the commitment of USAID, the Coca-Cola Foundation, and TechnoServe to environmental sustainability and economic development in Nigeria.
