Sona Group, one of Nigeria’s foremost conglomerates with interests in world-class packaging solutions under its subsidiaries Shongai Packaging, Techblow Nigeria Ltd and Shongai Technologies has been adulated for attaining high ranking for its world-class standard products and its strong belief in the manufacture of environmentally safe products.
Arjan Mirchandani, the Chairman, Sona Group said he is a firm believer in maintaining safe manufacturing practices that do not pose a hazard to the environment.
“We have families, we have children, we have plans for their future, we want to see how we can create and do our best with the knowledge and wisdom we have to maintain a clean environment so that people do not have to spend money on health issues. A healthy environment will give healthy labour and healthy culture.”
At the recently concluded 2019 PROPAK West Africa Exhibition, Techblow Nigeria, Shongai Packaging and Shongai Technologies delighted many of the exhibition participants with the display of its unique designs and products manufactured for different industries which include Pallets, Crates, Dustbins, Chairs, Table, Basins, SelfAdhesive Labels, Monocartons, Corrugated Boxes, Drums, Jerry Cans, etc in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FCMG) sector.
Sona Group has adopted renewable processing across some of its subsidiary companies with the setup of recycle plants, and implemented the use of bio-degradable materials for production, as this will help curtail and reduce the amount of potentially harmful waste generated. The group also espouses the use of materials that can be dissolved immediately, which could abate the issue of plastic waste pollution in the country.
With waste recycling still being relatively unexplored in Nigeria, if more companies actively engage in recycling like Sona Group, plastic waste pollution which has now become one of the major scourges of environmental degradation in the country will be effectively controlled, promoting public health and reducing monumental loss caused by the pollution considerably.
Besides public health, other ways Nigeria as a nation could benefit from recycling include energy conservation, economic growth, conservation of natural resources, reduction of landfill waste, and several more.
“As Nigerians, we have the responsibility to ensure the environment is sustainable and healthy, and Sona Group solicits everyone to join hands in making this possible,” Mirchandani added.
