In Nigeria, however, challenges associated production, consumption, economic prospects have adequately tackled. This conspicuously evident huge volume products imported annually into country result unsustainable local production. The cumulative impact these issues reflect negatively on Nigeria’s industry spread indirectly entire country’s economy terms high capital freight spent importation, volatile price, loss employment opportunities. work sought review opportunities material sources, energy water environmental pollution, disposal used Nigeria. current also advocated wastepaper variant potential.
