“On daily basis, Nigerians consume lots of pure water and soft drinks in PET plastic bottles which are thrown away to litter our environment,” Nwobodo said.

He added that adopting this recycling process in Nigeria would not only reduce the amount of waste in the environment but create jobs to reduce high unemployment situation estimated at 23.1 percent.

It would also reduce the huge cost of construction— that is government spending on construction of roads and other major projects that require bricks.

In the forthcoming training next month, Nwobodo and his team would be discussing recycling processes and conversion stages, including acceptable outcome of recycled wastes such flakes, and pellets, the firm said.

“A detailed process of converting waste plastics into interlocking stones and blocks will be unveiled, including machine sourcing and sources of raw materials,” he said.
