As an emerging economy with a population of nearly two hundred \nmillion people, Nigeria generates quite a lot of waste. The Waste \nManagement Society of Nigeria (WAMASON) estimates that nearly sixty-five \n million metric tonnes of waste is generated in the country per annum. \nThis has often caused a waste management crisis, especially in most \nurban centres where municipal authorities struggle to efficiently \ndispose of trash. Meanwhile, despite the fact that most Nigerians \ntypically regard waste as completely useless, there exist some \nbusiness-savvy entrepreneurs who have recognised the immense potentials \nin waste management and have taken steps towards harnessing it.<\/p>\n
What is recycling? <\/strong><\/h4>\n
Simply put, recycling entails the conversion of waste materials into \nnew, useful products. The essence is to reduce over-dependence on raw \nmaterials for the production of new products. It is also one of the most \n effective ways to managing waste; preventing pollution, ensuring a \nclean and healthy environment and creating wealth.<\/p>\n
In Nigeria, the recycling industry is still in its infancy compared to what obtains elsewhere in the world. BioEnergy Consult<\/em><\/strong> \n estimates that out of the millions of metric tonnes of waste generated \nevery year in the country, only a fragment of it is being \nmanaged\/recycled. What this means is that the business potentials of \nrecycling are currently being under-utilised. There is need for more \ninvestment in the sector.<\/p>\n
The recycling business in Lagos: an insight<\/strong><\/h4>\n
To understand more about the recycling industry in Nigeria, we visited the Igando Dump Site in Lagos. Located along both sides of the Igando-LASU road, it is one of the many dump sites that abound in Lagos, and indeed one of the biggest in Nigeria and the world at large. From afar off, one can perceive the pungent smell of rot that emanates from the place. Here, solid waste from such Lagos environs as Iyana-Ipaja, Egbeda, Ikotun, Isheri, etc. are brought and literarily dumped. It is also in dump sites like this one that most of the recycling efforts take place.<\/p>\n
Recycling involves a long chain of business command, beginning from the dump sites. For instance, the Igando dump site is privately owned and managed; just like most of the other sites in the city. Scavengers are charged the sum of N200 daily before they can come in and pick valuable recyclables ranging from metals, plastics, etc. Several hundreds of labourers work here daily, and the materials that they recover from the waste dump site is then purchased either by middlemen who sell them to recycling companies or by representatives of the recycling companies.<\/p>\n
One of the people we met at the dumpsite is a woman who works in the \nprocurement department of a recycling company. Although she chose \nanonymity and refused to disclose the name of her organisation, she did \nreveal that hers is one of the biggest recycling plants in Lagos and \nthat they specialise in metal recycling.<\/p>\n
“We basically recycle aluminium\/metals and use them to produce new \nthings such as pots, plates, spoons, etc. I work in the procurement \ndepartment of my company. So it is my work source for production \nmaterials. This is one of the places I come to source for materials” the \n woman said.<\/p>\nInside the waste dump site at Igando area of Lagos, one of the biggest dump sites in the world. Thousands of people work here daily, scavenging for valuable materials that can be recycled.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
<\/p>\n
How lucrative is recycling as a business?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Today, the recycling industry is estimated to be worth several \nbillions of Naira. But this is nothing compared to the revenues it has \nthe potential to generate should the right investments be made. In the \nmeantime, however, it was important for us to find how this much money \nis generated from waste materials, and who gets what. So we began by \nasking the procurement woman how much it costs to purchase the \nmaterials, she said that it depends on the type, quantity and quality \nthat someone is buying.<\/p>\n
“Measurement is also very important in this business. We weigh \neverything in weight” she said. “I pay between N40,000 to N45,000 for \njust one ton of metal. So depending on the quantity of metal I am \nbuying, I can sometimes spend nearly half a million naira in a single \nday. Today alone, I’ve transferred N400,000 to that man over there.”<\/p>\n
She also revealed that aluminium is more expensive than scrap metal, \nnoting that while the price of a ton of metal is around the N40,000 mark, one tonne of aluminium can cost more than one hundred thousand \nNaira (N100,000). She went further to state that metals and aluminium \nare the most expensive recyclables in Nigeria due to the unavailability \nof iron ore for steel-related productions.<\/p>\n
“All the other materials are equally just as important. Some specialise in recycling plastics, polythene bags, PET bottles and even paper. All of these are important materials used to produce some of the important household items that are very expensive in the market. However, the other recyclables are not as expensive as aluminium and metal. Take, for instance, rubber is easily accessible as a raw material, unlike ore which is scarce.”<\/p>\nAssorted plastic bottles packaged in a sack and ready to be sold and recycled.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Who gets the money?<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Fortunately or unfortunately, a bulk of the money goes to the middlemen instead of the labourers who do the dirty, most intense job of scavenging the materials from the waste dump site. According to our source, some of the labourers earn between N30, 000 to N50, 000 per month. And in all fairness, this is absolutely nothing compared to the serious work they put in, as well as the many health dangers they could be exposed to in the course of doing their job.<\/p>\n
The challenges\/opportunities for investment<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Indeed, recycling is a lucrative business in Nigeria today. Yet, \nthere exist such endless opportunities that are yet untapped. There is \nthere need for investors to come and industrialise the sector in order \nmake more money from it. Investing in proper waste management processes \nis one of one way to start. In Lagos State today, much of the 13,000 \nmetric tonnes of waste generated daily is left unmanaged. Investing in \nthe technology that would ensure an effective management of waste, which \n will inevitably aid the recycling process.<\/p>\nSacks of plastics packaged and ready to be sold and recycled.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
