The PWE project addresses the issue of plastic waste in Ibadan and surrounding areas. Citizens are encouraged to recycle PET bottles by bringing them to 1win-branded PWE stations. With an ambitious goal to collect 5,000 kilograms of plastic waste, 1win and Recycledge aim to send it to recycling sites and prevent plastics from polluting landfills, waterways, and natural habitats in Nigeria.
Following the launch event, 1win-facilitated plastic receptacle stations can be found across Ibadan in the following locations: Ilaji Hotel and Resorts, Hybrid Heights, Agodi Parks and Gardens, and IDC School (New Gbagi).
