NGO trains over 20,000 undergraduates on plastic pollution

U-Recycle Initiative Africa, a youth-led organization, has successfully trained more than 20,000 undergraduates on plastic pollution. This initiative, known as PlasticWize 2.0, reached students across four federal universities in Nigeria. The program focuses on environmental education, promoting circular economy solutions, and driving climate action throughout Africa.

The second edition of the flagship university initiative aims to redefine approaches to tackling plastic waste. By engaging young people directly, the NGO seeks to foster a deeper understanding of environmental issues and empower them to become agents of change. The training covers critical aspects of environmental stewardship and sustainable practices.

Through its efforts, U-Recycle Initiative Africa is making a significant impact on environmental awareness and action within Nigerian universities. The organization's commitment extends to advancing climate action across the continent, positioning itself as a key player in Africa's environmental advocacy landscape.
