What happened to the plastic bottle you threw out of the bus window yesterday?
It probably joined the pile blocking a drainage canal somewhere. Or found its way into a river. Or became part of the reason your street flooded last rainy season.
Plastic waste is one of Nigeria’s biggest environmental problems, and most of it starts with small, everyday decisions we don’t think twice about.
But here’s what we know: waste doesn’t have to be the end of the story.
Before that bottle becomes a landfill problem, it can become something else entirely. Fuel. Building material. Recycled goods that put money back into communities.
This week, Team Sosocare was live at Ultimate Specialist Hospital, Port Harcourt, where we sat with their staff and had a real conversation about what their plastic waste and health care financing can do before it ever becomes a problem.
Because at Sosocare, we believe in taking care of what’s often overlooked, whether that’s your health financing or the environment around you.
