Description
In the Obalende market at the heart of Nigeria's economic capital Lagos, discarded water sachets litter the ground. Since they began appearing in the 1990s, water sachets have become a major pollutant across much of Africa, but they remain popular for drinking, cooking and even washing. Some 200 firms produce the sachets in Lagos, and several hundred more recycle plastic, but the supply vastly outstrips capacity in a country with few public wastebins and little environmental education.
