Our story
How we started..
In 2011, I was working on a UK DFID project that was supporting LAWMA with policy design for construction and demolition waste. In the course of this engagement, I was exposed to the recycling value chain in the mega-city of Lagos, the challenges as well as the opportunities.
Nigeria generates over 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually but only 12% is recycled and the rest of the waste constitutes a menace, polluting the environment and risking the health of the populace. In 2021, coming out of COVID, Alon Green, a plastic waste recycling company was birthed out of the desire to transform waste into reusable material for a greener Nigeria and more circular economy.
