Overview
SRADev kicks off waste segregation, academy in schools
The Sustainable Research and Action for Environmental Development (SRADev Nigeria) has begun implementing a zero-waste initiative in plastic waste management in the country.
Zero-waste management is an ambitious and comprehensive approach to waste reduction that aims for waste prevention. The system emphasises redesigning resource lifecycles to encourage products reuse, repair, or recycle rather than disposal.
Under the project, the group is establishing a zero-waste academy in schools that involves training students on the concept of zero waste and the demonstration of waste management.
Four schools, namely Anthony Senior High School, Ajao Estate Junior High School, and Eko-Akete Junior & Senior High Schools, have already been selected for the pilot demonstration following consultation with the Lagos State Ministry of Education and Educational district boards.
