FBRA Collaborates With UNIDO To Train Recyclers, Plastic Manufacturers

The Food and Beverage Recycling Alliance, FBRA, in alliance with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, UNIDO, has organized a conference to increase knowledge of Promoting Sustainable Plastic Value Chains Through Circular Economy Practices for Recyclers Project in Abuja.

The purpose of the partnership is to be a part of Nigeria’s inclusive and maintainable manufacturing development and to decrease the leakage of plastics into the environment.

The issue of malleable pollution has continued to grow in line with the rise in the use of plastics, which entails the implementation of actions to help alleviate the problem by guaranteeing a circular economy. One of these measures is the awareness-raising forum targeted toward enabling circular economy principles and procedures to ensure resource-efficient production for plastic value chains in Nigeria.

Participants in the training included relevant stakeholders across the plastic value chain in Abuja and other states in northern Nigeria were representatives from FBRA’s associate organizations, Plastic Waste Value Players: Waste Pickers, Collectors, Aggregators, Recyclers, and Off-takers. Most representatives from UNIDO, NESREA, and the Federal Ministry of Environment were also present.

Among the issues discussed during the specialized sessions are Resource Efficient, Cleaner Production and its Benefits, Circular Economy, and Plastic Packaging. Nishio Nahomi, the UNIDO Project Manager, stressed the importance of Promoting Sustainable Plastic Value Chains Through Circular Economy Practices for the Recyclers project for Nigeria. Suggestions brought forward include the illustration of a Circular Economy through Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production (RECP) reviews, the take up of creative technology, and alliance with exploratory firms devoted to examining Japanese development choices.

The Assistant Director, of Plastics Waste Control at the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), Mr, Chukwudi Nwabuisiaku, spoke on the need to utilize circularity within the plastic value chain. He also raised the spirits of the participants by promising them the NESREA’s staunch backing for the victory of the Promoting Sustainable Plastic Value Chains Through Circular Economy Practices for Recyclers project. Participants showed their gratitude for the coaching and the influence it would have on their businesses. A representative of Boskel Nigeria Limited acknowledged FBRA for such an endeavour and said he is keen on incorporating the new learnings in his business.

Ending the event, the Corporate Communications, and Public Affairs Lead for Nestlé Nigeria Plc, a founding member company of FBRA, Mrs. Victoria Uwadoka, thanked everyone that came for the event and urged the participants to keep on trying to reach their objective which is the circulation of plastic and recycling of plastic waste. She also voiced the readiness of FBRA to keep on providing the support required to transmit to this circular economy for plastics in the country of Nigeria.
