Waste-to-energy plant a great alternative to reduce the area for waste treatment and disposal, in addition to generating energy for all small cities in the region. A good alternative is to create an intermunicipal cooperative between small cities to share costs It is a social advantage if small villages are supplied with locally produced energy, thus creating local jobs for the local energy-using population from waste collected locally Our innovation in environmental protection is the use of microwave technology The pyrolysis of waste in vapor microwave plasma. The main advantage of steam plasma reactors is that there is no nitrogen in the steam plasma, the plasma reactor, the gasifier and the plasma afterburner chamber, so there is no nitrogen oxides is 40 times more toxic CO, minimum carbon dioxid and odorless the flue gas. The hydrogen introduced into the reaction space with the steam plasma slows down the reactions of gaseous sulphur, phosphorus and free chlorine formation to remove in the gas purification unit. When reacting with chlorine-containing substances, water vapor plasma does not produce dioxin, which is one of the most toxic substances. technology: www.gumienergia.hu

Nigeria generates about 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, yet over 88% of this plastic waste is not recycled. Instead, it ends up in water bodies such as rivers, lakes, drains, lagoons, and the ocean, causing significant environmental damage and posing risks to aquatic life and human health. To curb this, we must intentionally set up comprehensive waste management systems. This includes building and maintaining recycling facilities, implementing effective waste collection and segregation processes, and promoting public awareness campaigns about the importance of recycling and proper waste disposal. Additionally, strict regulations must be enforced to ensure compliance and accountability across all sectors. We are all stakeholders in the environment, and it is our collective responsibility to take action. By working together—government, businesses, communities, and individuals—we can create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future. #wastemanagement #recyclinginnigeria #plasticwaste #recyclingfacts #gogreen #pollution

🌍 The Growing Plastic Waste Crisis: A Threat to Health and Environment 🌱 Plastic waste is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. Did you know? ➡ Plastics can persist in the environment for up to 1,000 years, with only 15% globally recycled. ➡ Nigeria generates over 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, with Lagos alone accounting for 34%. ➡ By 2035, plastic waste in oceans could equal or surpass the total biomass of fish. Plastics harm ecosystems, threaten marine life, and disrupt global climate efforts. Methane, released during plastic degradation, is 25x more potent than CO₂ as a greenhouse gas! 🚨 The Lagos State Government is taking bold steps by banning single-use plastics starting January 2025. Let’s support such efforts and drive change toward a sustainable future! 📖 Read our latest blog to explore how plastic waste impacts human health, ecosystems, and climate, and learn what we can do to mitigate its effects.

Being #plasticultured means you are mindful of how you use products and dispose waste to ensure minimal environmental impact; and that you encourage others around you to be mindful too! No doubt Ms. Mb is plasticultured, because, her action has inspired a new water company in Uyo to rethink how they dispose their plastic waste; and are excited to inspire and encourage their consumers to adopt proper disposal culture too! #DisposeProperly is a popular instruction printed on #PureWaterSachets and other #SingleUsePlastics in Nigeria, but how many consumers read or heed to it? We are excited that this new water company has seen the need to commit to emphasizing this often neglected ‘Dispose Properly’ instruction to their consumers, in their bid to reduce the impact of their product on the environment. We look forward to their success, and to more brands committing to adopt #CircularWasteCulture as part of their corporate responsibility. Like Mb, you can make a BIG DIFFERENCE just by personally committing to ensure every plastic waste you consume is DISPOSED PROPERLY for RECYCLING; and encouraging everyone you meet to make that commitment too! Thank you! #PlasticulturedBank is a social waste enterprise and a growing community of smart endusers pooling and aggregating their single-use plastic waste for recycling to help #BeatPlasticPollution in Uyo, and beyond!

Last week in Kisumu, I joined youth clubs for engaging sessions on waste management, focusing on the value of plastic waste, organic waste, and glass waste. We explored how each type of waste, when managed sustainably, can become a resource, proving that Waste is Wealth. From recycling plastics to composting organic materials and reusing glass, these practices are essential for environmental protection and building a greener future. Did you know that Africa's urban population is growing rapidly, leading to increased waste generation.By 2050, it's estimated that 516 million tons of waste will be generated annually, a threefold increase from 2016. Together, we’re turning waste into opportunities for change! #SustainableWasteManagement #CircularEconomy #ZeroWaste #PlasticPollution #BeatPlasticPollution #PlasticFree #EndPlasticWaste #Recycle #Reuse #Reduce #Upcycle #CircularEconomy #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalProtection #GreenFuture #Sustainability #Africa #AfricanInnovation #AfricanSolutions #AfricanYouth #WasteIsWealth #CleanUpAfrica #GreenAfrica.

The plastic bag ban officially takes effect today, January 1, 2025 in Nigeria. As we transition towards a more sustainable future, remember to bring your reusable bags on your next shopping trip! Here are five important reasons for this ban: Environmental Impact: Single-use plastics significantly contribute to pollution in our oceans and ecosystems, taking hundreds of years to decompose and harming wildlife. Resource Depletion: Producing single-use plastics requires vast amounts of fossil fuels and natural resources, exacerbating climate change. Waste Management Challenges: Many single-use plastics end up in landfills, where they can release harmful chemicals into the environment, and recycling options are often limited. Health Risks: Chemicals in plastics, like BPA and phthalates, can leach into food and beverages, posing potential health risks. Sustainable Alternatives: By refusing single-use plastics, we encourage businesses to adopt eco-friendly materials and practices, fostering a more sustainable economy. Let’s embrace this change for a healthier planet! 🌱 #Sustainability #PlasticBan #EcoFriendly

The Fight Against Plastic Pollution in Nigeria is finally taking center stage, and the National Policy on Plastic Waste Management is a big step forward! These new guidelines highlight the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and push for real solutions like banning single-use plastics, promoting biodegradable alternatives, and improving recycling infrastructure. But the real question is: Can we turn policy into action? Here’s where we see the opportunity: ✅ Biodegradable Solutions: Policies calling for alternatives align perfectly with our mission at Biodegradable Future.
