ABOUT THAT SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAN IN LAGOS...

Great policy! But how can we make it more useful and sustainable lest it fizzles out?

1. Don't push paper-made products to the public as a sustainable alternative. It actually isn't. Paper biodegrades but it needs nearly 4 times more energy to manufacture than that needed for manufacturing a plastic bag of a comparable weight.

2. Promote the use of more durable polythene bag. Plastic isn't all that bad when you can reuse it several times, like the 'Bagco' bags our mothers reuse for local market purchases

3. Try exchange schemes for plastic food containers, like the kind Coca-Cola already does with their glass bottles.

4. Let the 'ban-campaign' be more wholesome by emphasizing the benefits of adopting the 5-Rs (i.e., Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair and Rot).

Finally, the government should be careful with the term 'single-use plastics', because this would include all packaged food items such as snacks, cooking condiments, beverages and even bread, all of which use soft-plastic packaging.
