PROJECT IRAPADA is live. This project maps textile waste in Lagos. Across markets, garment workshops, and households. Using field data, audits, and lived insight. Lagos discards about 260,000 tonnes of textile waste each year. Most flow straight to landfill. Value disappears. Pressure builds. This research documents volumes, hotspots, and waste pathways. It highlights gaps in infrastructure. It points to practical circular entry points led by local actors. Irapada means return. Return to use. Return to value. Return to responsibility. With support from @bestsellerfoundation and @lawma_gov This work sets a baseline. The work ahead starts now. _ Visit the link in bio to read more about this report 💫💫
