A solar-powered recycling centre opened this week in Onne town, Rivers State (Nigeria), when West Africa Container Terminal (WACT), part of the APM Terminals group, and climate-tech firm GIVO (Garbage In, Value Out) commissioned a community hub designed to process local plastic waste, create livelihoods and operate on renewable energy. The facility, described by GIVO’s chief executive as capable of handling roughly 300 kilograms daily, about 90 metric tonnes a year, is projected to prevent an estimated 2,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually while supporting around 15 direct and 50 indirect jobs in the host community.
