Chukwudi, an assistant director, plastic sector in the National Environmental Standards and Regulatory Agency (NESREA) who took the first training session said “the essence of applying EPR is not only to control and manage solid waste but to also engage manufacturers to ensure a policy action on how to re-use spent tyres instead of burning them and polluting the environment”.

Alhaji Ibrahim Umar, president of Association of Erudite Entrepreneurs of Nigeria, applauded the organisers of the event describing it as “timely” adding that, “This advocacy helps us to understand that Tyre burning is a problem in terms of environmental hazards”.
