HBM Nigeria’s Waste-to-Resource Campaign Sparks Awareness

HBM Nigeria’s waste management initiative, launched in partnership with the FABE International Foundation, commemorates World Cleanup Day 2026. The campaign, focused on improving awareness among traders, aims to enhance waste segregation and responsible disposal practices.

The initiative, centered around the Oyingbo Ultra-Modern Market in Lagos, provides traders with practical guidance on waste management. Donations of waste management kits and bins were offered to the market, demonstrating a commitment to reducing waste generation.

Temitope Dosumu, director of HBM Eco, emphasized the importance of starting waste management efforts at the source. She stated that effective waste management begins with generating waste at the point of origin, particularly in markets where significant quantities of food, packaging, and other waste are produced. This shift in perspective encourages a more conscious approach to waste disposal, recognizing its potential as a valuable resource.
