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.

If food waste were a country it would be the THIRD LARGEST emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world. Basically, when food waste goes to landfills it creates methane. And methane is worse than CO2 by like..80x. It's bad. Very bad. So…today we launch our newest product. Lomi Bloom (2.0) -> seriously...watch the video Here’s why: More than 72% of Americans don’t have access to food waste pickup (aka - food recycling). In short. Food waste is dumb and it’s time we made it smartr (see what I did there?). The solutions offered by legacy waste management kind of suck. Basically, they offer us a little smelly, pest-loving bin to put under your sink and fill with rotting food. We pay real $$$ every year to have our trash picked up and this is all they got? No wonder waste management is one of the most profitable industries out there... These are the reasons (WHY) behind creating the world’s first Smart Waste appliance. As an entrepreneur, this feels like a problem worth solving. We launched the original Lomi in April of 2021. After 165,000+ users and a lot of feedback, I’m stoked to show the world what we’ve been working on for the last 2.5 years. Lomi Bloom is smarter, faster, quieter and… For the first time ever we’re introducing a platform that rewards you for doing the right thing. Every time you run your Lomi, you’ll be earning rewards that can be redeemed for your favorite brands (i.e. - HexClad, Ooni, Goldilocks and more) Rewards? Wt?!? Yes, I believe in this so much we’re willing to actually PAY people to use Lomi. Almost every “climate” solution we have as a society comes in the form of a tax. Maybe it’s time we try something…different? The new Lomi Bloom will even tell you your carbon footprint from the food waste you divert from landfills by using Lomi. That means this is literally the only appliance in your life that LOWERS your carbon footprint. (Yes, this is verified by multiple third-party orgs) Oh yah, and there are two new beautiful colors in Black and Sage Green. Head to Lomi [.com] (please don’t punish me algorithm gods) to check it out.

On behalf of the Lagos State government, the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lafarge Africa PLC for the collection of non-recyclable combustible waste round the state and landfill sites, a significant step towards achieving a zero waste future for Lagos State. Through this partnership, Lafarge Africa will collect and treat non-recyclable and combustible waste from companies and Lagos State dumpsites and divert it to its Ewekoro Plant for use as an alternative fuel for production. This landmark milestone will enable Lafarge Africa support The Lagos State Govt ’s vision of a cleaner Lagos in line with the Lagos Waste Management Authority’s ambitious zero waste to landfill objective. This new agreement reiterates the commitment of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu led administration’s to continually reduce the quantum of waste that gets to landfills, ultimately leading to zero waste landfill sites. The state government is determined to continually pay special attention to wastes conversion in the state. The Lagos State Government in recent past had also signed MoU to help decommission existing landfill, MoU to convert waste to energy, MoU with a Dutch company to take off electronic waste. We are addressing the issues of waste frontally at the states; waste sorting is a culture and it is a culture that you must imbibe and build over time; separation of waste is here to stay. The MoU's benefits are wide-ranging, including the availability of reliable alternative fuel sources, cost efficiency, regulatory compliance, and alignment with ESG goals. Present at the MoU signing were the Chief Executive Officer, LAFARGE Africa PLC, Mr. Lolu Alade-Akinyemi, Special Adviser on Environment, Olakunle Rotimi-Akodu; Permanent Secretaries, Office of Environmental Services, Dr. Gaji Omobolaji and Office of Drainage Services, Engr. Mahamood Adegbite; GM LASPARK, Mrs. Adetoun Popoola;MD Water Corporation, Engr. Mukhtaar Tijani; GM LASWAMO, Engr. Adefemi Afolabi; Executive Director Operations, Lagos Water Corporation, Engr. Lanke Taiwo and other directors in the Ministry and from LAFARGE Africa.

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.

🌐🆘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.

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.

On an average, a household in urban India generates approx. 10 gms. of MLP waste every single day. These are typically the covers of various food products ranging from tetra-pack cartons, masala powder covers, milk powder, potato chips - various other FMCG consumables. MLP (Multi - layered packaging material) are NON recyclable plastic waste. Since it cannot be recycled, this waste has NO purchase value at the scrap shops. Even rag pickers ignore it. Every other waste like thick-thin plastic, paper, metal, electric , electronic etc. have resale value ... But not this bloke. Thus the MLP inevitably ends up on landfills, contaminating the soil and eventually, during flows into a water body on its journey to the ocean. There it hurts the marine life , breaks into micro plastics under the UV light rays from the Sun. In a classical RSVP, it gets into the clouds alongwith evaporated water and returns back to earth in rain water. Through water, all of us and the animals and birds, now have micro plastics in our bodies. Many diseases like cancer, etc have been attributed to this non-organic invader inside our bodies. Now, we cannot wish away the MLPs. They do a fantastic job in keeping the potato chips fresh and crispy for 6 months. A boon to the supply-chain of FMCG products. They are available as a raw material to the food processing. FMCG industries in abundance. Also, an environment friendly commercially viable alternate material in large quantity is not seen in the distant horizon. So, along with 2 other professionals we launched our start-up to address this problem. Ui- Unified Intelligence Pvt Ltd is the execution wing of our venture. Vaspar foundation is our not-for-profit foundation that lodges the innovation center. Here we are always working on developing multiple new products and solutions aimed at creating large scale employment. At the factory MLP waste covers brought in from dry waste collection centres are shredded, washed and then loaded on a sheet making unit that presses out 8'x4' sized sheets of a variety of thickness. As the sheets cool down, we get a light weight thermoset sheet that are extremely strong and have fantastic mechanical and thermal properties. The MLP waste are from food grade plastic and thus have almost zero VOC. Also, the sheets are wonderful heat insulators. We sandwich 3 sheets of these between honeycomb structures made of the same material to create structurally integrated construction grade panels. These 100 mm thick panels are then covered on all sides with 8mm cement boards to form a skin. These are ready to paint surface, are standard construction materials with fire resistance rating of 2 hours. These panels become the walls and roof of our building. The floor is a 6" concrete layer. We build homes, terrace living space, dormitories , class rooms, auditoriums, compound walls, public toilets etc. with these panels. At the rate of 10 grams of MLP packets that we throw out as waste from our homes per day, in a single year each home generates 3,650 grams (10 grams x 365 days) So if an apartment has 10 dwelling units, in a year the residents discharge 36.50 Kgs of MLP waste into the environment Last week we installed this tiny security cabin in our Apartments in Bangalore. There are 10 flats here . This 5'x5'x8' cabin was constructed with our panels in under 6 hours. The weight of the MLP waste consumed in the panels for the cabin is 500kgs. THAT is around 14 years of #MLP waste discharged together by all the VIRGO residents - is now stored in the walls of the cabin as our panels. The cabin has a life of 50 years. We 10 families , in our apartment thus atoned for our 'plastic-guilt' to an extent. For inquiries, E Mail [email protected]

What Is It That American Regulation Agencies Actually Do? Right Now In America Popular Energy Drinks Are For Sale That Contain: 🚨☣️ “4x the amount of daily Cyanide that a human being is meant to ingest. 4x. They Get The Hydrogen Cyanide From “Human sewage treatment plants. It is the waste from a human sewage treatment plant called sludge. It's foamy yellow sludge.” How Insane Is This? “We take that same chemical weapon that's an acute toxic flammable environmental hazard, and we ship it to compound pharmacies that put it in supplements and protein powders and energy drinks that you drink. Right? You ever heard of a Celsius energy drink? Celsius energy drink has 4 times the amount of daily cyanide that a human being is meant to ingest. Four times. That's just one sample. So drink Monster or Bang. I mean, drink Bang, not Monster or Celsius. Right? Bang has methylcobalamin. This has cyanocobalamin. So and we wonder what you know, we're putting these toxic chemicals. He says, you know where we get the hydrogen cyanide? — They don't even pay for the hydrogen cyanide. Do you know where they get it? Human sewage treatment plants. It is the waste from a human sewage treatment plant called sludge. It's foamy yellow sludge. They scrape it off the top. They dry it, turn it into a powder, ship it to a facility, synthesize it with a metal, and put it in your vitamins. They take metal, hydrogen cyanide, and put it in our supplements. So that's that's exactly so when you get home tonight, I want you to take all of your supplements and protein powders, spin them around, look for that word cyanocobalamin, and if it has it, throw it in the trash. Right, and do that for your kids too.”

We cannot legalize an illegality under the guise of a "hustle." Your hustle must not compromise the rights of others by polluting their environment. We must all join this online campaign to educate the public on the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment. All waste from households, companies, and any other garbage-generating establishments must be transported to the designated final disposal site the Dandora dumpsite. We are also developing a waste-to-energy plant at Dandora, which will clear existing waste and transform the area into a more habitable and dignified environment. Anyone earning from or handling waste whether organic, recyclable, e-waste, or any other form of waste must be licensed by the County Government. Waste pickers and recyclers must cease creating unauthorized dumpsites in residential areas under the pretext of sorting or recycling. If you must handle recyclables, it must be done away from residential areas and must fully comply with the required standards. To those criticizing our enforcement efforts online before you condemn, take time to understand why we are doing this. You are welcome to join us during our operations and witness firsthand the suffering endured by residents living near non-compliant sorting centers and material recovery facilities. We must do what is right, no matter the cost. The time to act is now. To those attempting to compromise junior staff and obstruct proper enforcement, be warned: integrity will prevail. Our mission is clear to create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.

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.

🌍We use a combination of mechanized and manual techniques to clear waste from drainage channels as seen in this short video of the ongoing LAWMA Marine Waste Unit intervention at Osapa Canal, a joint exercise coordinated by TARI TAYLAUR (SSA-Environment), in partnership with Lekki Concession Company (Lekki Concession Co.): 1. Preparation and Safety First: Before diving in, our team gears up with protective clothing—gloves, boots, masks, and visors to ensure safety against pollutants. 2. Removing Large Debris: The first step is to clear out large waste materials like plastics, fabrics, tires, wooden planks, and other bulky items that block the water flow. For this we used Lekki Concession Co. Excavator. 3. Sediment and Sludge Removal: Using shovels and rakes, we carefully remove the sediment build-up and sludge from the bottom of the channel, restoring its depth and capacity. 4. Washing and Sanitizing: When available, we use high-pressure hoses to wash away leftover debris. In future, we plan to apply eco-friendly sanitizers to reduce the microbial load, making the environment safer and more sanitary for the community. 5. Waste Segregation and Recycling: Collected waste is then segregated. Recyclables (plastics and water hyacinth) are sent to processing facilities as raw materials for our burgeoning circular economy. 🚫 Steps to prevent future pollution: - Community Engagement: Regular advocacy campaigns to raise awareness about the negative impacts of waste dumping on our individual and collective health and wellbeing. - Strict Enforcement: We’re ramping up surveillance and penalties for illegal dumping through sustained enforcement activities of KAI/LAGESC, LAWMA Enforcement Units and Environmental Health Officers. - Infrastructure Improvement: provision of more trash bins to households and businesses, and improved collection by PSP Operators. - Reporting Mechanisms: Empowering residents to report violations through easy-to-use digital platforms: DM us on LAWMA, or call our toll free lines: 07080601020 or 080000LAWMA. These actions are in fulfillment of our commitment to #SDG6, #SDG11 #SDG12 #SDG13, #SDG14 🌿💧 #CleanLagos #SustainableLagos #KeepLagosClean #ForAGreaterLagos #lawmacares
