Here comes a great opportunity for as many people interested in making money from PET plastic recycling and supplies.
We buy PET plastic in large quantity in Lagos and Environ

We should all note that times are changing. People want more convenient ways of doing things. Also, it should be observed that mobile phone is getting more used than PCs a and most computers. News publishers are clamouring about the fall in demand for their products and the fact that this is posing threat on their job. I now think is it that people don't read papers this days or is it the medium of delivering and the cost that is affecting the news print industry.
It is true people read news for free on the internet, but should be noted it cannot be entirely free if similar service will be deployed on mobile phones,because of the cost of GPRS, then how much will people we willing to pay to read? atleast they pay telecoms company to play music for their callers 'lol'
I am just curious !

I understand my response is coming very late,as the original msg was in 2007.What your project is called is BRIQUETTING.
There's a project going on in Lagos as we speak on briquetting.I hope you started the project.But,if you're willing,there're other viable recycling projects in Nigeri.

hi guys i'm doing a research for my dissertation on possible ways of transforming waste produced in Nigeria into useful forms. A technology know as pryolosis can be applied to (strictly) organic waste to produce forms as, bio-oil , syngas and biochar. my main focus is on biochar and using in as an alternative to fertilizer for agriculture. soils amended with biochar produce high yield than fertilizer and not only that, biochar locks in greenhouse gases thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
however i would need help on how waste is collected in Lagos state and if in anyway the waste is been separated into recyclables, organic and inorganic.

well my brother,i think i have a clue to your need.

Waste to Wealth,means of job creation in Nigeria.
It's very understandable why comments about this topic is so enormous.Nigeria is dirty due to huge population and bad waste management facilities,but i believe it is time we should catch up on the opportunities in waste management.
I have vast knowledge about processes,equipment and end products from tyre and plastic waste.I am a Nigeria based in the UK and i will be willing to share my knowledge with any serious minded individual regarding tyre and plastic waste recycling.
