Lagos State to Ban Single-Use Plastics and Sachet Water by 2025

Описание: The Lagos State Government is set to ban single-use plastics and sachet water from January 2025. The announcement was made by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, during a stakeholders' workshop aimed at addressing the pressing issue of plastic waste and environmental pollution. This initiative follows the January 2024 ban on styrofoam in government establishments, signalling a commitment to fostering a cleaner and healthier environment. Stakeholders, including the Association for Table Water Producers of Nigeria (ATWAP), have called for a phased implementation of the ban to ensure that their members—over 10,000 workers in the industry—can comply effectively. We will soon see details regarding the implementation plan and alternative solutions to single-use plastics. Tune in as we hear from Suraj Oyewale, Director of Fortrose Consulting and expert in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, discussing the implications of this ban on the community and the environment.
