Abstract
Plastic waste has now become a global issue, causing widespread concern about its impact on our oceans and our well-being. Nonetheless, a global paradigm shift has brought to the attention of stakeholders the growing environmental problems of plastic waste in a linear economy. Plastic waste has exacerbated the environmental problem in several developing countries, including Nigeria. Lagos State, for example, is one of Nigeria's emerging urban states, with a dense population, rapid urbanization, and a rapid rise of the middle class over the last decade. Lagos state's growing human population, economic progress, and urbanization have exacerbated waste management and generation issues. This review paper, on the other hand, examines the environmental issues associated with plastic waste. It also identifies the parameters that will promote long-term plastic waste management in Lagos state. This paper addresses a portion of the plastic waste problem in Lagos, which can then be expanded to other Nigerian states.
