Implementation of circular economy principles in management of end-of-life tyres in a developing country (Nigeria)

摘要: Linear economy principles still dominates production and consumption model across the globe. However, pursuit implementation of circular is growing. This shift sustained by global movement towards concept sustainable development. Nigeria, a developing country has very poor waste management system. paper review discussed challenges opportunities offered post-consumer end-of-life tyres in Nigeria. End-of-life (ELTs) cause multi-faceted problem They are issues with human health (abattoirs, breeding ground for mosquitoes, emissions, etc) environment (linear economy, unrecovered resource, air pollution contaminated land from abattoirs). These two factors form underlying challenge which addressed. Currently, ELTs Nigeria serious negative ecological implications. It takes more than century tyre to biodegrade, occupies much space dumpsite, highly flammable, generated annually large volume. The use roasting meat common practice abattoirs led elevated levels heavy metals meat. Therefore, need approach. Socioeconomic limitations, scarcity progressive environmental policy, technical institutional incapacity have severely limited proper system critical operationalized economy. also potential directions on application CE ELT management, including policy legislation. Factors unique supports proposed integration extended producer responsibility (EPR) free market as appropriate approach country. study recommends formation organization nationally. effective logistics, regionalization collection / processing facilities will foster competition drive innovation post- consumer management.
