Mohinani, represented by Sameer Mohinani, Business Development Manager of the Sonnex-rPET Division, joined fellow industry leaders and policymakers at the National Plastic Summit 2026 to contribute to the high-level discussion on "Building a West African Plastic Governance Architecture."

The Summit, held in May in Abuja, marked a major transition in Nigeria’s plastics and packaging sector, from policy development to implementation. It reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to advancing a circular economy and strengthened expectations around Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

Key outcomes included the introduction of a Circular Economy Financing Taskforce and renewed emphasis on increasing recycled content in plastic products and packaging.

Facilitated by the World Economic Forum Global Plastic Action Partnership, the Summit was hosted by the Policy Innovation Centre and the
Federal Ministry of Environment, Nigeria.
