I have an unwavering passion about waste management and improving the circular economy. I founded the Let’s Recycle Network - an innovative social benefit initiative that rewards individuals, households, and institutions who we refer to as ‘subscribers’, for recyclable waste collected, which we re-process and sell. This initiative aims to give our subscribers a direct opportunity to generate value in the form of cash, food items, household items, for recyclable wastes collected. The waste includes: Empty water sachets, used polyethene bags, empty water bottles, empty aluminium cans and tins, used papers and paper packaging, metal scrap and metallic waste, damaged glass and bottles, and old tyres. Our vision is to become a sustainable solution to the dynamic challenges of wastes and pollution in the Nigerian environment.
