In an interview with The Guardian, he said Nigeria had a huge plastic waste challenge and inefficient in the management of available human and natural resources. According to him, majority of the materials constitute economic waste when they should have been recycled and up-cycled.

He said that effective plastic waste management would reduce the quantity of plastic wastes in the environment.

He said: “We are already struggling as a species with the devastating effects of burning of fuel. We cannot afford to add the damaging effects of plastic to the damage we as humans have caused the planet.

“As a business, we are conscious of global initiatives towards eradication. The idea of using plastic, especially PolyEthylene Terephthalate (PEP), mixed with sand to manufacture building blocks to create houses would address the issue of plastic wastes. The process of building houses with plastic will emit heat through small holes in the pillars of buildings which will maintain a cool temperature in the house even in hot weather and also create jobs for the teeming unemployed youths.”
