The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has expressed concern over the proposed implementation of the National Environmental (Plastic Waste Control) Regulations 2026, which banned single-use plastics below 80 microns by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) and called for its suspension.
MAN made the call yesterday in a statement titled, “Manufacturers Association Call for the Suspension of NESREA’s Proposed Ban on Single-Use Plastics Below 80 Microns Pending Regulatory Impact Assessment.”
The association noted that the, “proposed regulation is premature, lacks sufficient empirical justification, and poses significant risks to Nigeria’s economy, industrial sector, employment landscape, and the livelihoods of millions of citizens.
