Title: Circular Economy: Turning Waste into Wealth | Naija Eco Vibes Podcast S1 Ep. 4 Every day, Lagos generates over 13,000 tonnes of waste and about 15% of that is plastic. When unmanaged, it blocks drainages, fuels flooding, and pollutes communities. But what if we told you waste can be a resource? In this episode of the Naija Eco Vibes Podcast, powered by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), we explore how the circular economy can turn trash into treasure, create jobs, and drive sustainable growth. Guests: Grace Mbah – Co-founder, Climate Action Africa, championing climate advocacy and innovation across Africa. Olawale Adebiyi – CEO, Wecyclers Corporation, a pioneer in community-based recycling in Nigeria. 🔍 What you’ll learn in this episode: • What circular economy means in the Nigerian context. • Real-life examples of turning waste into wealth (from plastics to bioenergy). • Opportunities for young Nigerians in waste-to-wealth ventures. • The challenges of policy, funding, and awareness – and how to overcome them. • Simple, everyday ways YOU can practice circular economy in your daily life. 💡 This episode also spotlights the upcoming Walk for Nature Rally 2025 themed “Lagos, Let’s Beat Plastic Pollution”, happening Saturday, November 1, at Yabatech.
