Aware of the global challenge associated with waste management, the Ministry of Environment of Togo has initiated a specific roundtable focused on plastic waste management, starting on Thursday, August 10th, in Lomé. This initiative marks the beginning of regular dialogue with industry stakeholders.
The global scale of the challenge posed by plastic waste management is undeniable. While this versatile material finds its place in various creations, its recycling and disposal often remain problematic. As a result, a significant amount of plastic infiltrates the environment, threatening wildlife, human health, and ecological balance.
In this context, the Togolese government, in its efforts for a healthier environmental future, has organized a roundtable dedicated to plastic waste management. Starting this Thursday, this roundtable will provide a three-day platform for crucial exchanges, where the voices of industry, scientists, environmental advocates, and the general public will come together to forge a concerted vision for the future.
Experts and stakeholders at the end of these discussions are expected to identify solutions to shape a strategic framework that facilitates the collection, treatment, and transformation of plastic waste into valuable resources. The circular economy, which encourages the reuse and regeneration of materials, can become a cornerstone of this innovative approach. By building on international successes and adapting best practices to the Togolese reality, a roadmap for a future without excessive plastic waste could emerge.
