“…Global plastic production has increased over the years due to its increasingly widespread applications in many sectors [1]. As the economy has developed, the production and consumption of plastics have increased markedly to meet demand and provide practical benefits in applications such as agriculture, electronics, automotive, construction, home furnishings, and packaging [2]. However, the massive use of plastic also creates environmental problems due to its nonbiodegradable nature [3].…”

Pyrolysis has been proven as a method to reduce plastic waste and produce useful products, especially liquid fuels. However, plastic pyrolysis also produces gases and char as by-products which are being investigated for useful products. Therefore, our present study aims to investigate the char characteristics of plastic pyrolysis for further use as briquettes. Seven samples of char by-products from the pyrolysis process of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic at various reaction temperatures and catalyst types were studied. The proximate test is used to determine the properties of char such as moisture content, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon while the bomb calorimeter is used to determine the calorific value. Briquettes are formed by mixing 4 grams of char and 0.5-1 gram of binder (1% starch and 90% water). The briquettes were formed into solid cylinders with a diameter of 1.75 cm and formed with a pressure of 10 kg/cm2. Furthermore, the impact resistance index (IRI) was used to test the performance of the briquettes and showed an IRI value between 100 and 200. However, of the seven char samples tested, three of them were impossible to process into briquettes because they melted during the combustion test.

Environmental sanitation problems are a bane in cities in developing countries caused by poor sanitation behavior of individuals, particularly adolescents. Several recommendations have been made to effectively curb the menace, one of which is environmental education. The impact of education especially among adolescents who are forming lifelong behaviors is however not adequately documented. This study is a quasi-experimental research designed to fill this gap toward ameliorating sanitation problems in the city. From six schools selected in the municipality, 185 adolescents were selected from both public- and private-owned secondary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria, using multistage sampling. Information was collected through a structured questionnaire administered to the sampled adolescents before and after eight weeks of an environmental education intervention. The study revealed that the intervention significantly improved the adolescents’ environmental sanitation knowledge and behavior. The study concludes that environmental education has to be efficiently incorporated into learning process to curb the ever-present sanitation problems effectively.

This study conceptually assesssed household resilience to water supply and sanitation deficit in Nigeria. It expressed water supply and sanitation situation in Nigeria in terms of historical background and organisation structure of water supply and sanitation and highlighted cases of water supply and sanitation across states and geopolitical zones to reflect the precarious water supply and sanitation condition in Nigeria. Coping strategies that households have adopted in addressing water supply and sanitation deficit were categorised into four: enhancing or supplementing available quantity of water and quality of sanitation facilities; accommodating unreliable water supply supplies and lack of sanitation facilities; improving water and sanitation quality; and collective action and voice. These coping strategies are determined by household socioeconomic status and location (urban or rural) and the extent of unreliability of supply service and their adoption places serious health, financial and social implications on the households. The study concluded that inadequate water supply and sanitation impose significant coping burdens on households, making the household resilience a case of biting the bullet and proffered recommendations that aimed at mitigating water supply and sanitation deficit in Nigeria and other countries with similar background.
