What can 200k do in this business?

You can get a shop, get a small crushing machine or pelletizing machine which is a typical crusher.
A small 15 x 15 shop is enough for this...
It costs N12, 000-15,000/MT but must be delivered to facilities...
I am not providing any link...just do your research or attend De-Olivette Enterprise forum...

"Plastics and plastic articles which accounts for 3.2% of Nigeria's annual import gulped up $1.5 billion in 2019," Damilola, CEO of Deo-Enterprise, a company creating awareness about an untapped gold-mine in Nigeria.

Many tonnes of plastic waste pollute our major cities, but the paradox of the situation is that it presents an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs to create immense wealth. Take a ride through the Lagos metropolis or other commercial centres like Port Harcourt, Benin, and others, and you will see piles upon piles of plastic garbage, yet few understand the potentials of those pollutants generating millions of naira as profit.

You can enter the business by either setting up a recycling plant or simply collecting and distributing waste plastic. It is usually easier to start with collecting and distributing, which will help you gain a good understanding of the whole business. The first thing to consider is what type of plastic are recycled? Our investigations show that Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) are the easiest to recycle and commonly accepted by recycling plants. These are the bottles used for coca cola drinks, bottled water and other similar products. These recycled by-products can be used to make products like bags, ropes, furniture, combs, car bumpers, and of course, plastic bottles. This does not mean that other types of plastic cannot be recycled, but PET comes tops and is more easily available.

Having identified the prized waste to target, it is then important to have a good strategy to collect plastic waste. Event centres are a good target to collect plastic bottles and other types of plastic. Most event centres in cities are booked with events weekly, and drinks are usually packed in PET and other plastics. So, after events you can negotiate with the organizers and pack all those wastes to your dump or storage site. You can also put in place robust arrangements with restaurants, hotels and bars to collect their waste. Then also, the popular dump sites across the city could be the main sources of waste collection. As a beginner, you can also liaise with numerous scavengers and waste collectors who are already in the business to save yourself initial startup hitches.

From your dumpsite, you can sell directly to recycling plants but you can also do some more processing to earn more money. First, you earn more money by cleaning and sorting the plastic waste before you sell. You can as well make much more profit by purchasing and baling and cutting machine, which you will use to compress the plastic to smaller sizes. Adding this value gives you more profit as the recycling plant will be more interested with this stage of the product.

To still make more money, you can grind the product after baling and cutting for higher returns. First, the recycling plant will pay more for this stage of the product, and secondly, you may end up paying less for transportation to the recycling plant as the plastic is compressed and your vehicle can move more kilograms in the available space. Equipment required for bailing, cutting and grinding may cost up to N3m, depending on the make and type.

However, the dream of many people in the business would be to set up a recycling plant. It is a no brainer that the entrepreneur will make more money from processing the waste and producing or selling to manufacturers of the end product. There is yet more opportunity in this stage of production. Nigeria, as well as other countries, used to export thousands of tonnes of waste to China every year. The waste was processed and used in making pipes, carpets and other products. But that business has come to an end since China banned the importation of solid waste like mixed paper, plastic bottles and 24 types of solid waste. It therefore presents a huge opportunity to develop Nigeria’s recycling industry.

Some Chinese companies are already investing millions of dollars to start up recycling plants in Nigeria, and it is important that local entrepreneurs also see the opportunity and grab it. What we used to do was export plastic flakes and import the end product from them. Now, we can boost our economy by processing and producing here in Nigeria. We generate up to 30 million metric tons of waste annually and out of this figure, 2.5million metric tons are plastic waste. Lagos alone accounts for almost half of the total waste. Establishing recycling plants will also create employment as well as improve the environment by reducing pollution and improving the ambiance. An average recycling plant may cost between N20m to N30m.

Waste is piling up and with our population of over 170 million people the dumpsites will keep growing, so participating in the huge plastic recycling business is a sustainable and profitable venture.

PrettyDiepreye:
They are pure scam. They've scammed me of my 200k. Once they're done with you, your messages to them on Whatsapp will no longer drop. They told me my car has been shipped,that its the the Lagos Port but till date, no news. They no longer respond to nails of WhatsApp. And there are others who have been scammed too. But God will soon expose them. They have even disabled their website.

Arrival

My Japan Adventure

The news I would be accompanying my student Victor who’d won the Goi Peace Foundation International Essay Competition for youth to Tokyo in Japan was received with mixed feelings. Of course I was proud that a student I’d trained in Creative Writing came 1st out of over 30,000 contestants from 157 countries and for one reason I was elated that I would be traveling to Tokyo, the most advanced city in the world. For another odd reasons I knew very little about Japan besides their Samurais, the country’s many UNESCO heritage sites and Japanese manufactured automobiles which flood my country roads. Other things about Japan remained a black hole I couldn’t unravel.

Our host the Goi Peace Foundation got Victor and I tickets to travel on the world best airline, Emirates and our 24 hours trip was a blur. Our arrival to Japan at the Narita International Airport was interesting, the immigration officers were polite and meticulous. Also, the GPF already dispatched an amazing lady called Meiko Sakai to meet us at the airport. Meiko, I later discover was a romantic who loved nature, birds and art. Our trip to our hotel was smooth and one of the most striking thing about Japan was its cold weather. Temperature was 16 degrees, the coldest I’ve ever felt—that was the coldest an air conditioner could get in my country. Our hotel room which was entirely minimalist was on the 13th floor.

I met the GPF youth correspondent Mr Tatsuru and Mrs Saitomi down at the lobby. Tatsuru was the sweetest person I ever met. Despite it was late, Victor was fettered with snacks.

Japan, the 8th Wonder of the World!

I fell in love with Japan on first sight. One is immediately fascinated by the quiet, scintillating beauty, cleanliness, and impeccable hospitality of Tokyo. From the gleaming lights of its shiny cities, the soothing weather, the happy people, and their energy, everything about Japan spurred me. Although I’ve been to other countries, Japan was my first true love, and I was entirely overwhelmed. Tokyo was a city with soul. It people had smiles on their faces, the youths are polite, the elderlies are even more friendly. I would turn, stare and moan at how a country could be so organized, friendly and peaceful.
I was serenaded with the occasional mutters of: “Konishiwa,” and “Arigato-gozimas.” I was entirely flabbergasted by their politeness, their sophistication, their technology, and the food. Japanese food would forever remain on my taste bud, from their obsession with healthy drinks, I rediscovered healthy eating. And the Japanese adore their food, there was always a new restaurant been constructed, always a different food to try, and I wondered if there was an end to what to eat in Japan.

Japan is a country of moderation and excess. Excess in the good things, and one of such is the Sky-tree of Tokyo, an amazing engineering feat that rivals the Eiffel Tower in Paris. From the Sky-tree you can see the entire view of Tokyo. The bullet trains in Tokyo was far better than the one we saw in Dubai while on our way.
When it comes to moderation: Phones have to be in silent mode. I didn’t hear a single ring tone or car honk, and there was no noise pollution in Japan unlike the one I was used to in Nigeria, even my 14 year old student blurted: ‘this is a wonderful country, I don’t want to ever go back home.’
I think for an extremely successful country like Japan, I realize prayers and night vigils don’t build cities, silent hardwork does.

Japan is probably the most secure country in the world, there was so much peace and quiet, that I thought I’d lose my mind. From point A to B, everywhere was calm and incredibly organized. There are cameras connected to lobbies which alerts taxis and buses that people required buses to their destination. There are plans for disabled people, the transportation system is flawless, and the bullet trains are as fast as jets.

There is a clash of ancient and modern buildings; you could drive around an area with thousands of skyscrapers and discovered a vast Shinto shrine in its heart. I even said a prayer to Budhha during my visit to the Shinto Temple, and I totally believed if the Japanese believed in Buddha, then the world needs to believe in someone who inspired such calmness, civility and decency in a people. I mean, one of my greatest take away in Japan was, there were no poor people in Japan, you just don’t see the difference between the cleaners and the billionaires. I happen to sit and chat with Hiro Mikyaki one of the top entrepreneurs in Tokyo, and he wore a faded shirt, jeans and tired looking boots. It was as if he’d attended the Goi Peace Award Program after he’d finished working in a garage. This emphasis the simplicity of these amazing people. There are few car owners in Japan, I mean why would I ever want to own a car when the latest Toyota, Honda and several other automobiles I’ve never heard about are used as taxis. Japan is an egalitarian society.

I couldn’t exhaust my experience in Japan in words. The perfection of the GPF award night in the world class Nikkei Hall—the Hall is like having 1,000 Nigerian national Theaters in one building; or is it the mentally stimulating lectures, the amazing inputs by the wonderful Hiro and Masami Saionji who are a couple changing the world. I could use 100,000 words and still be at a loss. Japan is flawless, and it was so heartbreaking when we had to leave. We didn’t just leave empty handed, our host took us to the Showa Women University Junior and Senior High School where we were immersed into the Japanese educational system and culture. We tried the Japanese traditional tea, and listened to the students sing a song about birds and seasons. We explored the length and breath of the school, ogled it’s koi fish pond where those inked fishes swam languidly and colorful ducks drifted as well. It appears there is a natural or man-made lake in every Japanese Schools where students can relax and think.
It was heaven and I almost cried in anger for not been born Japanese.

The GPF International Essay Prize Award and the visit to Japan was life changing to my student and I. Hundreds of our students saw the videos and pictures and some vowed to school in Japan in the future.
Japan will forever remain with me, and I hope one day, I’d visit again to learn more about his amazing people and their culture. I’d finish my essay saying: Arigato-goizmashta to the wonderful GPF team and the lovely people of Japan. I hope more Nigerian youths can explore the many educational, cultural and tourist opportunities of this amazing Island.
