About this webinar
Uncollected recyclable trash has turned into a massive problem, especially in many cities in growth economies like Nigeria. Lagos, Nigeria, with 20 million people, is no exception. The traditional methods have proven inadequate and residents struggle to dispose of their recyclable trash in an efficient, safe way. Until, that is, Wecyclers was founded.
In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Wecyclers, Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, to learn more about what inspired this mission, how the business model works, and how they went from the impossible to creating a market for plastic waste in Nigeria.
