The Statewide Waste and Environmental Education Project (SWEEP) Foundation hosted its 4th edition of the Lagos Waste Forum in partnership with Lagos State

The event, which took place on Tuesday, September 12th, 2023, centered around the theme, “Investing in Plastics Recovery for a Circular Economy.” It had a dual objective: highlighting the urgent necessity of tackling plastic waste and facilitating discussions on innovative solutions, investments, and strategies to propel the transition towards a circular economy.

He said “Today, there is an on-going global transition from our traditional linear economy to a more sustainable circular economy with a view to addressing and mitigating the harsh realities of climate change due to pollution. Because we have a shared future, it is urgent and necessary to collectively control pollution through waste management.

Nwamaka Onyemelukwe, Director of Public Affairs, Communications, and Sustainability at Coca-Cola Nigeria, in her keynote address emphasized the urgency of addressing global plastic pollution through a multifaceted approach. She stressed that Coca-Cola recognizes that the plastic waste problem is both urgent and complex, therefore a collaborative effort is required.

Coca-Cola system is investing heavily in innovations and sustainable solutions that drives our journey to a World Without Waste. One of this innovation is designing better sustainable bottles like the transition of our Sprite green bottles to Clear bottle, using less plastics through light weighting initiatives like our EVA water bottles and adopting 50% recycled content in our packaging by 2030.
