The Lagos Waste Management Authority has announced plans to tackle 1,040 tonnes of textile waste generated daily across the state as part of its Zero Waste Day initiatives. The agency aims to promote waste reduction, recycling, and sustainable fashion practices to curb environmental pollution caused by discarded textiles.
LAWMA highlighted that textile waste, including old clothes, fabrics, and industrial scraps, contributes significantly to landfill overflows and pollution. The agency is partnering with stakeholders in the fashion and waste management industries to encourage responsible disposal and recycling efforts.
The initiative underscores Lagos’ commitment to sustainable waste management, urging residents to embrace reuse and recycling to minimize textile waste’s impact on the environment.
