CameroonPepper:


Banana leaves?

MrSly:

MY brain is very empty if I need further explanations to what he said.

casualobserver:


What’s wrong with that?

CharleyBright:
Hmmmm.
This is not Good news for those big butts women that use take-away plates to steal party rice in owambe parties.

But Lagos state govt are not even serious. Instead of seeing opportunity in the threat situation, and create mediums thru which they can create wealth and job opportunities by recycling these take-away plastics wastes, they want to kill the industries that manufacture the products.
Our leaders are bereft of innovative ideas that will spur development.
Mumu govt with mumu decision.

madridguy:
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment & Water Affairs should calm down and take things easy. This is peoples solely source of income and I believe there should be time frame to this.

Nicepoker:
So when River Niger is dredge. Lagos will be decongested. . You don't know anything.

Have you thought about eateries running businesses, restaurants, canteens, bottle water, bottled minerals and so on, there is a value chain here, do you know how many businesses might crumble and thousands if not millions that might lose work....

Following the post COP28 footsteps of the UAE.

UAE is passing the use out gradually and not abruptly the way uncle Sanwo wanna do his.

Hanndye:

So you haven't seen people posing eating meals out those take - away packs as if it matters more than the food?

ITbomb:
In saner climes, there would have commissioned a research for alternative.
And promote the alternative when announcing the phase out of the Styrofoam

Dang!

That must be some achievement for them.

I remember during Rochas' tenure in Imo State when the government was combatting excessive dumping of pure water sachets the government started paying pure water companies an amount of money per 50kg of sachets they submit to the government. Sachet water hawkers would sell to a customer and wait until the customer drinks the water and they'll collect the empty sachet and keep, because the sachet water companies pay them a small amount for each empty sachet they submit. The companies would, in turn, submit the sachets to the government and get paid while the government recycles the sachets.

Owerri was very clean because of this.

That's how to solve such issues, not by banning outrightly

Bintasukai:

Actually, you are the one bereft of ideas in your haste to abuse the government as we all are wont to do.Firstly, this will increase the manufacture/ importation of multi/use plastics as well as create a market for paper utensils and paper bags. It is left for the investor/ entrepreneur to channel their funds/hustle towards what does not harm the environment.
There is a direct correlation between styrofoam packaging and flooding. Would you rather a flooded Lagos than a ban on the cause?

Sleekfingers:



So they should leave it abi? Lots of countries don't use it anymore.

CharleyBright:


Did I hear you say importation of alternatives??
Is importation the solution?
If the plastic takeaways are causing flooding, is there a way to stop it by establishing pick up stations for onward recycling to better utilize them and prevent flooding?
You are even dumber than I thought.

COMPAQ:


UAE that's phasing it out gradually, when you go there, is this how their gutters and canals are filled with the stuff?

AuthorMan:
It remains pure water sachets nylon bags should follow. All these Rwanda has banned long ago. The reason its the cleanest country in Africa

victorclean:
Choi no be small. Nylon will take over take away packs
