The authority of Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has unfolded the agency’s pilot project to recycle condemned engine oil aggregated from mechanics to raw materials for cosmetics production.
General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, announced the development at True Leaders Training Series executive workshop which took place in Lagos this month.
She assured that the project will kick off in the course of this year.
“I implore all of us to teach and train the next generation to adopt waste management practices that are sustainable; they will grow up with it, and put the knowledge learnt to good use,” Fasawe emphasized.
Using Lafarge PLC as an example, she asked the workshop participants to “look up their model in harnessing waste to power its everyday business operations and manufacturing.”
The LASEPA chief encouraged the participants to take a cue from Lafarge’s best practices in transitioning to a circular economy.
The training which focused on advancing sustainability and circular economy was organized for facility managers by Lagos Business School Sustainability Centre and its partners.
