You know the saying “bad things happen when good people do nothing.” That’s the thought that drives me. Waste Management Society of Nigeria (WAMASON), Lagos Council called and we answered, resulting to a fruitful and result oriented discussions in managing waste to attain net zero and zero waste. In the course of the Eko Waste Summit 2024, discussions on integrating economic profitability into the concept of recycling and sustainability not only births economic opportunities but also transforms the state of living for the people and wellbeing of the environment_ a win win. Some recommendations for effective implementation of waste management discussed were: • To truely achieve net zero there must be intentional and collective efforts of all and sundry in properly managing their waste. With waste managers, enthusiasts and sustainability based innovators engineering the processes, developing policies, deploying policies, and de-risking together. • Government has a crucial and decisive role to play in strategies and policy implementation to checkmate non ecofriendly practices, support drivers of implementation and compliance to access funding, empower them and adequately enforce her own policies. • With the aim of effective, efficient and sustainable implementation, policies has to be well communicated and cascaded down, so that interpretation is understood by all levels. Clarity of what, why and how addresses the issues of frustration of environmental policies and implementation from the government itself, it’s own agencies, and especially the people. • There is the essence to develop waste management infrastructure from waste sorting, to collection, to incentivizing the process, and to proper disposal facilities (preferably waste treatment facilities that generate energy from waste) • Advocacy awareness and very importantly teaching the children, which includes adding sustainability, waste management, circularity, SDG in their curriculum. A panelist said, “When you teach children you have taught a nation.” The idea is to catch them young. 🏅Special appreciation to these organizations living the circularity we preach.

Nigeria's real estate industry is booming, but traditional practices can create a significant environmental burden. Sustainable waste management offers a win-win solution, improving the environment and boosting the bottom line. This waste management process prioritizes reduction, reuse, and recycling. This can involve: · Construction: Utilizing recycled materials, minimizing offcuts, and deconstructing existing structures for salvageable components. · Operations: Implementing composting programs for organic waste, separating recyclables, and partnering with waste-to-wealth initiatives. Case Study Broll Nigeria's impactful partnership with Scrapays exemplifies this approach. Scrapays, a waste management company, diverts tons of waste from landfills for reuse in new projects. This reduces Broll's environmental footprint and potentially lowers operational costs. Sustainable waste management offers a range of benefits for Nigerian real estate: · Cost Savings: Reduced waste disposal fees and generates a bottom-line from the waste recycled. · CSR & Enhanced Reputation: Appealing to environmentally conscious occupant tenants and investors. · Reduced to waste to landfill ratio: Broll has been able to reduce its waste to landfill ratio by over 4% with projected target of 30% by 2030 with over 151.2 tonnes/CO2e emissions avoided. This is the equivalent of taking 358 Salon Cars off the road. This was calculated using the EPA's WARM Model. By embracing sustainable waste management, Nigeria's real estate industry can become a leader in environmental responsibility. Initiatives like Broll and Scrapays' partnership pave the way for a greener future for the sector and the nation. Follow us to get more insights on the Nigerian Real Estate market. #ProgressivePropertyPeople #WasteManagement #Sustainability #ReducedCarbonEmissions
