Nigeria is currently ranked as one of the world’s leading destinations for electronic waste due to waste management issues. The average Nigerian generates about 0.65kg of waste daily and, apart from local dump sites present in most communities, Nigeria is home to six of Africa’s largest landfills.
These wastes not only block sewers and drains, but they also end up in bodies of water, harming biodiversity and aiding disease spread. Current waste culture also has a negative impact on the planet, contributing to environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. In a waste economy, humans will continue to drive the planet to the extreme by producing and pursuing huge amounts of waste, consequently depleting resources that future communities will require. Hence, a worthy alternative is the circular economy which aims to boycott recycling by giving us an actual chance at waste elimination.
