“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.

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.
