ANGEL SUPPORT FOUNDATION SHOWCASES NIGERIA'S ECO-BRICK INNOVATION IN CHINA
Angel Support Foundation (ASF), represented by our Founder/CEO, was honoured to participate in the Global Plastics Innovation Workshop and Exhibition, held from 23–26 June 2026 in Shenzhen, China, under the UNDP Global Plastics Innovation Programme (GPIP), supported by the United Nations Peace and Development Fund (UNPDF).
The workshop convened innovators, policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs and development practitioners from China, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tunisia and Viet Nam to share innovative solutions, strengthen partnerships and advance the transition to a circular plastics economy.
ASF proudly showcased the Eco-Brick Sanitation Hub Project, an innovative initiative transforming discarded PET plastic bottles into safe, durable and climate-resilient sanitation facilities. The project will construct eco-brick toilets in five schools and five communities in Makurdi, Benue State, addressing two critical challenges simultaneously: plastic pollution and inadequate sanitation.
Throughout the workshop, we gained valuable knowledge on:
♻️ Circular economy policies
📦 Sustainable packaging
💰 Investment readiness
🌱 Behaviour change strategies
📊 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
💡 Emerging technologies for plastic waste management
*OUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY?*
Ending plastic pollution requires far more than recycling. It demands innovation, supportive policies, strategic investments, strong partnerships and active community participation.
The experience has strengthened ASF's commitment to delivering locally led, community-driven solutions that create lasting environmental and social impact across Nigeria.
Thank you UNDP in Nigeria, United Nation Peace Development Fund and all partners for creating this valuable platform for learning, collaboration and South–South cooperation.
Together, we can build cleaner, healthier and more sustainable communities.
