Nigeria is installing reverse vending machines (RVMs) to accelerate waste management and circularity. The initiative, beginning in the capital Abuja, is led by a local woman-owned technology start-up, which will collect data to inform further waste management development throughout the country. The RVMs will be installed in 25 key locations within Abuja, Federal Capital Territory. The UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) facilitated the initiative in collaboration with the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB).
