Speaking on her motivation for creating a recycling start-up, Sobanjo said, “I want to do more for the country and the society. It gives me more joy when I do something for people than myself. I want to make an impact, to grow the country. I always believe in this country that something good can come out and all it takes is one individual.”
The RecycleGarb founder said there were many things waste could be converted into that people were unaware of. “Do you know you can use plastics to make roads? We can save cost and maximise resources and at the end, Nigeria can be seen as something positive and not what we have been known for.”
She said the company which began with waste paper recycling in 2013, had plans to give value to people who offered household waste products for recycling.
