A New Era of Sustainable Waste Management in Nagpur 🌱 Inspected the Nagpur Municipal Corporation's 'Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Processing Plant' at the Bhandewadi Dumping Yard, which is set to turn the vision of a waste-free city into reality. Operated by the international industrial conglomerate KEVA SusBDe, the facility will process 1200 tons of waste generated daily in Nagpur. To be completed in 3 phases, the project will ensure that all daily waste generated in the city is processed using advanced technologies. Through this project, both wet and dry waste will be collected and processed. The treatment process will generate biogas, high-quality compost fertilizer, and fuel pellets from dry waste. The Nagpur Municipal Corporation has allotted 30 acres of land for the initiative and will receive an annual royalty of ₹15,00,000 from gas sales. Directed the administration to extend all necessary support for its successful implementation. The biogas generated through this project will be utilised to supply CNG for 198 city buses. In addition, the project will provide energy pellets required by MAHAGENCO, further contributing to sustainable energy generation and resource utilisation. This landmark project will reinforce Nagpur’s position as a national model for sustainable solid waste management and environmentally responsible urban development. Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, MLA Krishna Khopde ji, MLA Pravin Datke, Nagpur Mayor Neetatai Thakre and other dignitaries were present.

How TN is turning waste into wealth- alongside conserving marine biodiversity ! Here is a project to ponder on this Global Recycling Day. The Tamil Nadu Fishnet Initiative is tackling plastic pollution on ground with the local community. At the Kasimedu Fishing Harbour in Chennai, a pilot project has established a discarded fishnet collection center, where fisherfolk are paid 40 Rs per kg for bringing discarded plastic and nylon nets. So far, the center has collected 12,984 kg of discarded nets, with 5.20 Lakh paid to the fishing community by the recycler. Of this, 10,710 kg has already been recycled into reusable plastic granules, transforming waste into wealth. Set up by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, the TN Fishnet Initiative is set to expand its wings. #GobalRecyclingDay #Recycling #StopPlasticPollution

Good morning Tokunbo Wahab. A rejoinder to my earlier tweet. This video was sent to me last night. As it clearly shows, the residents of this house have made a conscious effort to avoid indiscriminate waste disposal. Unfortunately, their efforts are being undermined by the absence of PSP operators. How can a major street like Afariogun in Oshodi be left without PSP operators for over three months, despite residents not owing service fees? The residents have repeatedly reached out to the Local Government and their relevant PSP operators, yet nothing has been done. And this is the reality of most people across the state. While it is important to hold residents accountable for proper waste disposal, government must also fulfill their responsibility by ensuring consistent and reliable waste collection. There is also a canal close to this street. If this situation is not addressed immediately, frustrated residents may resort to dumping waste indiscriminately, creating avoidable environmental and public health hazards. I respectfully urge you to investigate this issue, restore PSP operations to Afariogun Street without further delay, and put measures in place to prevent similar service disruptions across the state.

PARTNERSHIP: The mining industry is broken. There are trillions in untapped mine waste. But one company cracked the code to profit and clean it up, turning mine waste into cash flow, clean and scalable. This is why clean gold mining initiatives are on my radar, especially those that rigorously adhere to ESG rules and don't disrupt local ecosystems, such as ESGold Corp.. ESGold removes decades of waste, one ounce at a time. And in a clean and sustainable manner. Gone are the days when mining was considered a dirty, nature-wrecking business. ESGold targets legacy mine sites to recover value from yesterday’s waste. By doing so, they not only renew nature but also renew local communities as well. Low CapEx, lower risk, and environmentally positive. Jobs, cleanup, community renewal.

Swachhata Hi Seva 2025 begins in Goa—a movement uniting us from 17th September to 2nd October for a cleaner, healthier, sustainable future. Goa has achieved 100% door-to-door waste collection across all Urban Local Bodies. The focus now is sustaining this success through public participation, dignity of labour, and technology-driven transformation. This year, we stress source segregation of wet, dry, and hazardous waste, while strengthening composting, recycling, and energy recovery to turn waste into resources. Honouring our safai karamcharis—the true heroes of cleanliness—special health camps are being held across the state with the Directorate of Health Services. With QR-based systems, digital records, and real-time monitoring, Goa is driving transparency, accountability, and efficiency in waste management, setting new benchmarks for sustainable living. Swachhata is not an event, but a way of life. Let us celebrate Swachhotsav—a festival of cleanliness, dignity, and responsibility.

LASG SET TO PARTNER SWEDISH COYS ON WASTE TO ENERGY ..As Env. Comm. says the State Government will continue to pay special attention to waste conversion The quest to make good use of the high solid waste generated in Lagos State got another boost on Tuesday as the state expressed readiness to partner with some Sweden organizations on how to turn both solid waste and liquid waste to energy across the metropolis. Speaking during the meeting at Alausa, Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab said the state will continue to pay special attention to waste management adding that waste is not a waste but remain one of the best resource every where. He said Waste to energy is a project that the State Government is willing to embark on in order to move the narrative forward in a progressive and productive way. "Our resolve from the beginning of this tenure is that whatever we have to engage in to manage and deploy our solid and liquid waste as a resource is a priority for this government as it will save Lagos but other neighbouring state" he said. The Commissioner stated that the Ministry which is a public facing ministry has resolved to embrace any project that will cut the carbon foot print in the state. He said the state being a coastal state is faces alot of challenges, one of which is the Atlantic Ocean rising at the peak of the rainy season adding that the state is also at the end of numerous tributaries where water is discharged into the lagoon all of which could lead to flooding in the state. He said lagos generates between 13,000 to 14,000 tonnes of waste per day and the state is open to suggestions about possible productive ways to turn it into a Resources and move the state forward. Wahab said lagos as a State is working to decongest the roads and make Lagos a 21st century mega city saying that the cause and effect on the environment is that these moves help to reduce the emissions on the long run. According to him, As a result of current energy crisis in Nigeria, this has caused the spike in the cost of PMS and its multiple effects on the economy. So if the Lagos State Government can go ahead with this project. it will solve half of the problem in the PMS high price in Lagos. "This project is something we have to pursue deliberately and diligently. This is because while the government on its own part is trying to push out CNG at lower cost, conversion of waste to energy will also be an option especially for public transport in Lagos" Wahab said Lagos account for over 50% of the vehicular traffic in the country with the smallest land mass as well as 22million people which is 10% of the country’s population being inhabited in with less than 3,600 square kilometers of land, stressing that the project is not an option but a necessity. He recalled that earlier in the year, the state government had been in consultation with two Dutch companies one which will turn waste to energy and the other which will deal with electronic waste, adding that the state can indeed change the notion that waste is not a waste but a resource. The head of the delegation, representative of the Consul of Sweeden and the Business Promotion Officer, Sweden Embassy Abuja, Ms. Sara Ibru noted that the Lagos Government is known to be very pro - active in all its endeavours and that the Swedish Organizations are willing to collaborate with Lagos State to turn solid and liquid wastes into valuable resources. The Honourable Commissioner was joined by the Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services, Gaji Omobolaji Tajudeen and his Counterpart in Drainage Services, Engr Mahamood Adegbite to receive the visitors The organizations representatives include Swedish Trade and Investment Council ( Business Sweden); Honourary Consul of Sweden in Nigeria; Swedish Development Agency (SDA); NIR International Council of Swedish Industry and Swedfund.

This morning after joining Mr Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to monitor the Monthly Environmental Sanitation in Surulere Local Government, I led top officials on an inspection of the major works underway at the Olusosun dumpsite and I am pleased to share real progress with Lagosians. We are on track to deliver a new Transfer Loading Station at Olusosun by the end of this year, a facility that will transfer 2,500 metric tonnes of waste daily to the Material Recovery Site in Ikorodu. The concessionaire Messrs ZOOMLION has committed to accelerating work with day and night operations to meet that target and as part of their corporate social responsibility, they will also stabilize and remediate the 1.2 kilometre access road into the site. This project is at the heart of our move to decongest the Olusosun landfill and more importantly to abandon the unsustainable pick and dump linear waste model that has defined Lagos for over four decades. We simply do not have the land for it any longer. Olusosun was once on the outskirts, today it is surrounded by a growing city and it must become a resource hub, not an eyesore. The transition is already happening. Lafarge is taking our combustible waste to power their machines. Our biodigester at the Ikosi Fruit Market is converting organic waste into electricity for the entire market. Through Harvest Waste and other partners we are pushing to convert thousands of tonnes into recyclable plastics, compost fertilizer, and energy. If we take 4,250 tonnes daily into recycling and recovery streams, the burden on our landfills drops drastically. I want every Lagosian to begin to see waste as a resource because that is how developed cities function. In the interim we are procuring more compactors, exploring EV compactors, and introducing tricycle compactors that can navigate narrow inner roads and lanes that PSP operators currently struggle to reach. Reforms take time but we are fixing what is on ground while building the bigger picture. I also received reports that the Head of Service Mr Bode Agoro monitoring in Kosofe recorded increasing resident participation and I commend every Lagosian who came out today. This culture is growing and together we will achieve a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.

Can We Flush Tissue Paper or Napkins in Toilets? The recent Air India toilet clogging incident has brought us international embarrassment. A Delhi-bound Air India flight had to return to Chicago after two hours because 8 out of 12 toilets got blocked. This happened because some passengers flushed plastic bags, sanitary napkins, and other non-disposable items into the toilet. In India, we are more accustomed to using water for cleaning, unlike in Western countries where toilet paper is commonly used due to the cold climate. Even though we now use Western-style toilets, many of us still prefer washing with water; either with a bucket or a faucet. One key difference between Indian and Western toilets is that Western-style toilets are meant to remain dry. Wet toilet seats are considered unhygienic and unpleasant, especially in Western cultures. Unfortunately, some men urinate without lifting the seat, making matters worse. With changing habits, people have started using toilet paper to dry themselves after washing. However, many are unsure about how to dispose of it properly. Some throw it in the waste bin, which is unpleasant for the next user and inconvenient for the person who cleans the toilet. The correct way to dispose of toilet paper is by flushing it, as it is designed to dissolve in water within 20-30 seconds. However, not everyone knows the difference between toilet paper and tissue paper, paper napkins, or wet wipes. These items, along with sanitary napkins, should never be flushed. Unlike toilet paper, they do not dissolve easily and can clog the drainage system. Unfortunately, some passengers on the Air India flight made this mistake, leading to a major disruption. As a society, we learn quickly when things are explained well. This is our humble effort to clarify why only toilet paper should be flushed while everything else should be disposed of in a bin. Please share this video message with your friends and family to raise awareness. Together, we can prevent such incidents and ensure our toilets remain clean and functional.

I am delighted to announce that the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources has taken delivery of 10 brand new waste compactor trucks generously donated by the Lagos State Lottery and Gaming Authority in a ceremony that demonstrates the power of inter-ministerial collaboration and corporate social responsibility. This donation comes at a crucial time when we are scaling up our waste management operations to match the reality of a megacity that generates over 13,000 tonnes of waste daily. Let me be clear: we have moved decisively beyond the outdated collect-and-dump model into a sustainable zero-waste economy where waste is viewed as a valuable resource. We have signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding with local and international partners that will divert close to 5,000 metric tonnes from the daily waste stream through recycling, reuse, and resource recovery. These 10 new compactors will be strategically deployed to critical locations experiencing high waste generation and to communities that need enhanced evacuation services. They will improve our turnaround time, support the monthly environmental sanitation exercise, and help us sustain the cleaner Lagos we are building. I commend the Chief Executive Officer of the Lottery and Gaming Authority, Mr Bashir Abiola Are, for this commendable gesture that aligns perfectly with the vision of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat for a cleaner and more sustainable Lagos. I use this opportunity to call on other public institutions, private sector organizations, and corporate stakeholders to emulate this example because the task of keeping Lagos clean requires all hands on deck. Together, we will deliver a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.

In 1948, 76 beavers were parachuted into the Idaho wilderness as part of a relocation program by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The program was initiated to address the growing conflict between humans and beavers in areas where people were building homes, such as Payette Lake. The beavers' natural activities, like dam building and tree cutting, were causing problems for the new residents. The relocation site, Chamberlain Basin, was chosen because it was a remote and suitable location for the beavers to thrive. However, the area was difficult to access due to the lack of roads. The solution was to use surplus parachutes from World War II to drop the beavers into their new home. A specially designed crate was created to ensure the safety of the beavers during the drop. After several test drops with a beaver named Geronimo, the project was deemed successful and continued until 1948. As a result, the beavers transformed the landscape into a lush wetland, creating a haven against fire and drought. Their descendants now live in what is part of the largest protected roadless forest in the continental United States.

🌐🆘Tisza: Tons of garbage are flowing from Ukraine to Hungary – extreme pollution again in February 2026. At the end of February 2026, the Tisza River is once again bringing huge amounts of garbage from Ukraine to Hungary, causing serious environmental damage downstream. According to footage shared on social media and in the Hungarian media, the flooded Tisza is carrying large piles of plastic bottles, PET bottles, plastic bags, branches and other municipal waste, which mainly comes from the Ukrainian side of the Carpathians. The Hungarian daily Magyar Nemzet reported on February 26, 2026, that “tons of garbage” (tonnaszámnyi koládek) are flowing into the country, with the largest share being plastic bottles. The portal reported on the same day that the river was carrying “several tons of waste” from Ukraine, with videos posted on social media showing the critical situation – the water literally “rolling” piles of plastic and debris towards the Hungarian-Ukrainian border, especially in the Balsa area of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county. This phenomenon is not new, but the February 2026 wave was exacerbated by the rapid melting of snow and ice in the Carpathians and heavy rains in Transcarpathia. The roots of the problem lie in the inadequate waste management system in the mountainous regions of Ukraine and in the fact that during floods, waste from banks, illegal landfills and directly dumped waste enters the rivers. Ukrainian sources (e.g. the Novini Zakarpattya telegram channel) confirm that intense thawing and rains have caused a sudden increase in the amount of floating waste. The Tisza has been one of the most polluted rivers in Europe with plastic waste for decades. Approximately half of the waste comes from Ukraine (mainly from the Transcarpathian region), the other half from Romania (via tributaries such as Someș/Szamos). The war and economic crisis in Ukraine have further worsened the situation - the waste collection and disposal system has collapsed in many places and landfills overflow directly into the rivers during floods. The Hungarian authorities - the National Water Management Administration (Országos Vízügyi Főigazgatóság, OVF) - started collecting waste upstream on 25-26 February 2026 using floating waste collection devices. However, a long-term solution requires international cooperation between Ukraine, Romania and Hungary, as pollution crosses borders. The Tisza originates in the pristine Carpathian Mountains, but by the time it reaches Hungary, it carries tons of municipal waste with it. The current wave once again highlights that protecting the ecological state of the river is a shared responsibility and that simply eliminating the consequences is not enough – prevention at the source is the key.
