The event’s main topic is “Redefining Integrated Waste Management in Nigeria through Circular Economy.” This theme emphasizes an approach to waste management that moves beyond traditional disposal methods and focuses on a sustainable, regenerative system where waste is reduced, reused, or recycled, creating a closed-loop system that benefits both the environment and economy.

The circular economy concept involves designing products and processes to minimize waste and make the most of resources, encouraging recycling, upcycling, and responsible consumption patterns. By adopting circular economy principles, Nigeria can potentially reduce the environmental impact of waste, lower resource dependency, and create job opportunities in sectors like recycling and sustainable product design.

1. Innovative Waste Management Solutions: Exploring new technologies and systems that help reduce waste at the source, efficiently collect waste, and recycle or repurpose it.
2. Policy and Regulatory Frameworks: Discussing the role of government policies in fostering a circular economy, including regulations that encourage recycling, waste segregation, and sustainable product designs.
3. Economic Opportunities in Circular Economy: Highlighting the economic potential of a circular economy in Nigeria, such as job creation in recycling, manufacturing, and sustainable product development.
4. Community and Corporate Engagement: Encouraging both local communities and corporations to participate in sustainable waste management practices.
5. Educational and Public Awareness Campaigns: Emphasizing the importance of educating the public on waste reduction and recycling.
