𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 Morgan Bona, CEO of Green Action for Sustainable Production, has called for greater responsibility in managing plastic waste, urging households to embrace waste segregation at source. Speaking during the National Cleaning Day, Bona said manufacturers must play their part in ensuring... that packaging materials, particularly plastic bottles, are collected and recycled after use. Green Action for Sustainable Production, an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) organisation supported by manufacturers including Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Hariss International, is among the key sponsors of the National Cleaning Day. The organisation donated an assortment of cleaning materials to Kira Municipality to support the cleaning exercise. Bona emphasised that proper waste segregation creates value, enabling waste collectors to earn from recyclable materials. “A bottle that is mixed with organic waste becomes useless to us, but a bottle that is separated shall have value.” He called on Ugandans to separate waste at home and support waste collectors, who play a critical role in keeping communities clean and recovering recyclable materials. #NationalCleaningDay #OpenGovUgshow more

Most of us throw away waste in seconds. But what happens after that depends on one simple choice. At a busy traffic signal in Ahmedabad, members of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation turned an everyday commute into a lesson in responsible waste segregation. Using a live demonstration of the city's four-bin system, they showed citizens exactly where different types of waste belong. 🟢 Wet waste 🔵 Dry waste 🔴 Domestic hazardous waste ⚪ Sanitary waste When waste is segregated correctly at home, recyclable materials stay usable, composting becomes easier, sanitary waste is handled safely, and hazardous waste doesn't contaminate everything else. It's a small habit that protects sanitation workers, improves recycling, and helps keep our cities cleaner. Because a cleaner India doesn't begin at the landfill. It begins with the bin we choose.

FROM PLASTIC WASTE TO LASTING PATHS! Plastic waste is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, but it can also become part of the solution. Instead of relying solely on concrete, discarded plastics can be recycled and combined with sand or other aggregates to produce durable composite slabs for walkways, pavements, and selected drain covers. This innovative approach not only reduces plastic pollution but also lowers the demand for cement, cuts carbon emissions, and promotes a circular economy where waste is transformed into valuable infrastructure. By converting plastic waste into long-lasting construction materials, we can create cleaner communities, protect the environment, and demonstrate that what was once considered waste can become a resource for sustainable development. ♻️🌍

Indian events—like weddings and religious functions—often leave behind a lot of waste, from leftover food to plastic litter. A simple solution is setting up an on-site “waste management pit,” where waste is segregated. Wet waste can be composted, while plastic and other materials are sent for recycling. This approach can reduce event waste by up to 50%, lowering environmental impact and easing pressure on sanitation systems. It’s cost-effective and easy to implement with basic planning. So, should every Indian event adopt this system?

Today, I met with the Acting Chairman of Agege Local Government, Hon. Ganiu Obasa in company of other heads of agencies, permanent secretaries and directors, to strengthen collaboration between the State and Local Governments on environmental sustainability and waste management. Our discussion focused on how to move from a linear waste system, where we simply pick and drop, to a circular system where waste becomes a resource. This is the future we are building for Lagos. We agreed that real progress in achieving a cleaner, flood-free, and sustainable Lagos must begin at the grassroots. The Local Governments and LCDAs play a critical role in ensuring that every household, market, and street supports the State’s vision for a cleaner environment. As part of our action points: Environmental Health Officers will work directly with LAWMA to strengthen enforcement and ensure prompt waste collection. LASPARK will support identified areas in Agege with greenery and beautification. Drainage engineers attached to the LGA will provide technical support on flooding and channel maintenance. This partnership is a reminder that sustainability is a shared responsibility. Together, we can build the cleaner, safer, and more resilient Lagos we all deserve. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagos

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.

🌐🆘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.

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.

The Lagos State Government has inaugurated a Special Task Force to combat indiscriminate waste dumping across the metropolis, particularly on roads, bus stops, garages, and lay-bys. As part of the initiative, members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) will work with government agencies as “waste police” to monitor and report environmental violations. Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi , emphasized that tackling environmental abuse requires collaboration between government and transport unions, warning that offenders will face sanctions. He also directed union leaders to ensure cleanliness in their garages and parks, discourage indiscriminate trading, and remove illegal structures that contribute to waste generation. Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr. Sam Egube, highlighted the critical role of transport workers in maintaining public order and security, urging them to report suspicious activities and support efforts to keep Lagos clean and safe. LAWMA Managing Director, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, PhD , noted that Lagos generates about 13,000 tonnes of waste daily and called on transport unions to help prevent waste disposal on roads, promote proper waste management, and stop street trading around bus stops and newly constructed roads. Stakeholder Sola Giwa assured the unions of government support in enforcing sanitation standards, removing illegal shanties, and maintaining clean transport facilities. In response, the transport unions pledged their commitment to partnering with the government in waste policing and environmental sanitation across Lagos. #AGreaterLagosRising

🇱🇹 Lithuania is facing a full-blown waste crisis: Vilnius is quite literally drowning in garbage The Prime Minister has called an emergency meeting, saying the situation has become so serious that it can no longer be managed without government intervention. If the companies responsible for waste collection and processing fail to reach an agreement, Lithuania could declare a state of emergency as early as Wednesday. The crisis began last year after a fire damaged Vilnius' main waste-sorting plant. The facility is still not fully operational, and waste continues to accumulate across the city. Environmental experts are raising concerns, while Vilnius Mayor has warned that another fire is possible. Firefighters are now on duty at the site 24 hours a day. Authorities are urgently looking for solutions. Some of the waste is being burned at a waste-to-energy plant, while the rest is being sent to other cities for processing.

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.

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.

Only 10% of Nigeria’s 2.5 million tons of annual plastic waste gets recycled. The rest? It clogs our drainage systems, pollutes our environment and threatens our health. But young innovators like Victoria Francis are changing that, starting from the streets of Akwa Ibom. Through Plastic Cultured, she and her team are turning collected waste into fuel, mattresses and plastic bins. Their innovation is about more than just recycling; it’s about creating jobs, protecting the environment and building cleaner communities for residents and tourists alike. Thanks to the Young Africa Innovates Programme, Victoria now has the support, mentorship and tools to scale her idea and push for a zero plastic waste culture across Nigeria. In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, we’re empowering atypical and underrepresented innovators especially young women and community-based change makers to build solutions that work.

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.
