In 2019 during my National Youth Service year. One faithful day while I was coming from the place of my primary assignment, it rained heavily leading to a heavy flood and I noticed a large collection of plastic waste blocking the waterways, spilling over and littering the highway, it was an eyesore, my desire to prevent and stop plastic pollution led to the research which birthed Envopatch Recycling. Envopatch Recycling is a waste management and recycling organization registered under Cooperate Affairs Commission of Nigeria (CAC). Located at the heart of Owerri Imo State. Our goal is to recover and recycle Post consumable plastic materials so as to create a clean and sustainable environment. To achieve this we introduce an incentivized recycling program, where citizens will receive cash reward for every recyclable waste sorted from source. We also enter into partnership with hotels, bars, event centers and water production companies on a project tagged; "Operation recover from source" this is to recover every recyclable waste from the points it was generated so as to stop them from ending up in the landfill, drainages and marine environment. The perceived challenge in waste management led to the need for smart and rewarding way of encouraging users to dispose waste appropriately through an easy to use technology-driven automated and incentivized system. It was established that the social behaviour of citizens can be improved by introducing smart incentives as the motivation for appropriate waste management. With the incentivized recycling program recyclables will no longer go into drainages leading to flooding and unhealthy atmosphere, recyclables will no longer be burnt as practices in some places polluting the environment, and recyclables will no longer occupy landfills spaces. Our vision is “To get everyone involve in the fight against plastic pollution and indiscriminate waste disposal so as to create a clean and Sustainable environment. With the effective hands of team ENVOPATCH RECYCLING, corporate partnerships and community co-operation we can achieve this vision. MISSION STATEMENT: “To provide informative solutions with value for a Clean and sustainable environment via advocacy, recycling, education, capacity-building and environmental sustainability projects”. CORE VALUE: Sustainability Other values include; Innovation Community Recycling Solution Goal oriented ENVOPATCH RECYCLING as a social enterprise is geared at giving back to the society, maintaining a healthy environment, improving environmental sustainability, creating value through waste and well-being of people, while providing support via our little quota. PROBLEM STATEMENT Despite advances in global municipal solid waste management and new trends in universal municipal solid waste management, there is a gap between the low-economic class of the people and the municipal solid waste management system, this class makes up a wide population yet to be reached. Most of these people have poor waste management behaviour and they blame it on “the government”. GOAL: To recover and recycle post consumables plastic materials so as to create a clean and sustainable environment. OBJECTIVES: To get everyone involved in the fight against plastic waste and indiscriminate waste disposal through recycling, education and public awareness. To increase awareness on issues of waste management and inculcating the mentality of maintaining a clean and safe environment among individuals of all ages and sex. To educate the society the need for recycling of plastic waste, thereby benefit from the value attached to it. To reduce the input of plastic to landfill. To stop incineration thereby reduce, air pollution and carbon footprints. To raise an army of environmental responsible citizens. To increase environment sustainability which will bring new opportunities for innovation and job creation, in line with the objectives of the united nation sustainable development goals. Raising public awareness about plastic pollution and sensitization towards environmental cleanliness. To restore the glory of Imo state as a clean and greener state. To promote approaches to reduce inputs into marine environment. To encourage and motivate Nigerians to recycle and make the country a better ecological place. However, this project is totally beneficial to our society, economy and environment. WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE BY COLLABORATING WITH ENVOPATCH RECYCLING. By collaborating with ENVOPATCH RECYCLING to achieve her goal, aims & objectives, you are: Strengthening and implementing partnerships for the sustainable development Goals of which we believe we aim to achieve similar: Goal 1(No Poverty), Goal 2(Zero Hunger), Goal 3(Good Health and Wellbeing), Goal 6(Clean Water and Sanitation), Goal 7(Affordable and Clean Energy), Goal 8(Decent Work and Economic Growth), Goal 11(Sustainable Cities and Communities), Goal 12(Sustainable Consumption and Production), Goal 13(Climate Action), Goal 14(Life Below Water), and Goal 15(Life On Land). Enriching & empowering more audience/ beneficiaries. Increasing the services you can provide at community outreaches with our joint effort. To support the fight against plastic pollution and indiscriminate waste disposal. To restore the glory of Imo state as a clean and greener state. Contributing to the economic growth and job creation. Creating appropriate avenue for our organisational volunteers to be motivated and network. Building community trust and co-operation. Promoting the campaign for a cleaner safe neighbourhood. CONCLUSION: The menace of plastic pollution endangers not only the environment but the general well-being, because for every plastic you dump indiscriminately litters the environment and block the drainage system which leads to flooding and breeding grounds of diseases. In conclusion we believe we can change the world by changing the lives of those around us. We therefore hope you can help us achieve a greater & more sustainable community through your collaboration.
