Plastic 2 Resources

Plastic 2 Resources is a social engineering project to change the behavior of citizens on waste disposal, through a waste collection and aggregation system. The key objectives of this project include improved sanitation in Lagos, improved hygiene, behavioral change, youth and women empowerment, climate resilience, waste management and marine litter reduction.


The estimated 13,000 tons of waste generated daily in Lagos presents a commercially viable opportunity. The Hub's sustainability plan is to promote waste recycling, aggregate plastic waste, and process plastic waste to use as input for high-value products. Global Shapers Lagos has received a generous grant of $56,000 to kickstart this project.
