Combating the menace of plastic waste pollution has become a global environmental challenge. Plastic pollution is capable of affecting land, waterways and oceans as a large percentage of marine and land creatures have died due to the fact that plastic is non-biodegradable and it causes hazards to soil. It also emits toxic gasses when exposed or heated up. It blocks drainage lines and fill up land space causing floods and erosion thereby causing deterioration of the Nigerian roads. Plastics wastes are also harmful to human health; they may contain harmful acids which may lead to death. Nigeria, which is the biggest oil exporting country in Africa, relies mainly on the proceeds of the oil trade for its GDP and based strategy in growing her economy. However, with the declination of oil prices and increase in plastic wastes, the world is tending towards energy and sustainable development. Therefore, an urgent need for recycling plastic wastes into a solution for wealth creation is fundamental in Nigeria. This paper therefore seeks to identify favorable methods for recycling plastic wastes in Nigeria as a tool for solution to diversification and implementation. Evidence based examples are illustrated in the article with viable solution recommended for implementation.

Sampah plastik adalah salah satu masalah lingkungan yang ada di Indonesia. Sampah plastik meupakan jenis sampah yang sulit terurai, sehingga perlu penanganan khusus untuk pengolahan masalah tersebut. Salah satu alternatif yang ditawarkan yaitu dengan pembuatan mesin pencacah plastik. Salah satu dalam manufaktur suatu mesin yaitu menrancang dan menganalisa komponen yang digunakanan. Mata pisau merupakan salah satu komponen penting pada mesin pencacah plastik. Simulasi model dari mata pisau sendiri perlu dilakukan untuk menganalisa kinerja dari mata pisau tersebut saat proses kinerja mesin tersebut. Permodelan simulasi dilakukan menggunakan software CAE. Bentuk meshing pada permodelan mata pisau yaitu menggunakan tetrahedral dan rasio meshing yaitu mendekati 1. Hasil yang didapatkan dari proses permodelan mata pisau yaitu tegangan maksimum Von mises pada pembebanan 300N, 500N dan 700N berturut turut sebesar 6,752 x 10-3 MPa, 2,845 x 10-3 MPa dan 1,575 x 10-3 MPa. Sedangkan besaran displacement pada variasi pembebanan 300N, 500N dan 700N berturut turut memiliki nilai 6,752 x 10-2 mm, 1,125 x 10-1 mm dan 1,575 x 10-1 mm. Safety factor pada simulasi ini dihasilakan yaitu memiliki nilai 15 yang artinya aman untuk semua variasi pembebanan karena memiliki nilai lebih dari 1.

The main occupation of residents in rural areas in Nigeria is agriculture [1]. Processing of agricultural products into food items suitable for being consumed for a longer period without spoilage can prolong the useful life of such products and can also increase the net profit for farmers [2]. However, several tones of melon pods are gathered every harvesting period but the majority of the total harvest is processed using traditional/manual methods. Melon seed (Cucumis Melo) is a popular food source consumed mostly by Africans. It has been referred to in some texts as Citrullus Vulgaris [3] or Colocynthis Ecirrhosus [4]. In Nigeria, it goes by the following names 'egusi' (Yoruba), 'ogili' (Ibo), 'ogi' (Bini), and 'iguana agushi' (Hausa) and 'dènde' (Fulani). The shelled seeds of egusi are usually coarsely ground and used in preparing soup, stew, and snacks. It is used preparing robo, a defatted fried cake obtained after the oil has been extracted from the melon seed. The seeds can also be fermented, boiled, and wrapped in leaves to form a favourite food seasoning 'Ogiri'. Melon seed contains about 314gkg-1DM crude protein, 439.3 gKg-1DM crude fat, 31.4-90.6 gkg-1DM crude fibre, 2.4-4.6 gkg-1DM phosphorus, 3.9-6.5 gkg-1DM potassium and 4.1-5.9 Mcalkg-1DM energy [5]. The seed also contain about 50% oil, 30% protein, 10% carbohydrate, 4% ash, 3% vitamin, and 3% fiber [6]. The melon seed is a rich source of amino acids like arginine, methionine, and tryptophan. Melon seeds have found widespread use in the following areas: as a source of food, as a source of medicine in the healthcare industry, used in the skincare industries, and source of feeds for animals and as a source of income to farmers. Studies have shown that melon pods have an almost spheroidal external shape and an ellipsoidal seed cavity, sphericity of 1.03, an average density of 0.87 g/cm3, and seed content of 3.5% by weight. [7, 8]. In Nigeria, due to the sociology of different ethnic groups in the country, melon seeds (egusi) are now being transported all over the country where it is served as a meal. Egusi is commonly prepared as soup with vegetables, peppers, spices, palm oil, meat, fish, and other ingredients and sometimes eaten with pastes known as swallows, for example, pounded yam, fufu, wheat, amala, eba, etc. [9, 10]. The oil extracted from the melon seeds can be used in the manufacture of margarine, shortening, and cooking oils, while the residual cake is a useful source of protein for livestock feed [11]. Melon seeds may account for up to 80% of dietary protein and may be the only affordable source of protein for some people [12, 13]. The need to increase and improve melon production in the farming system, human diets, and health cannot be overemphasized [14]. Processing of melon into eatable items involves depodding,
