As the intersections between food systems, environmental stewardship, and sustainable packaging take center stage across the continent, the Food and Beverage Recycling Alliance (FBRA) is spotlighting circular economy frameworks and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as key institutional participants confirm their attendance at the Africa Sustainability Forum 2026, reports NaijaAgroNet.
Scheduled for October 20, 2026, at Oriental Hotels, Lagos, the high-profile gathering centers on the theme “Sustainable Futures: Driving Just Transitions, Green Growth & Shared Prosperity.” The upcoming forum convenes vital stakeholders across agriculture, food manufacturing, regulation, technology, and civil society to examine robust pathways for sustainable development and environmental accountability.
As a leading industry collaboration platform focused on post-consumer packaging waste collection, recovery, and recycling, FBRA brings an essential circular economy dimension to the discussions. The Alliance plays a pivotal role in championing sustainable packaging waste management and supporting the seamless implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) across agricultural and consumer supply chains.
The forum also incorporates diverse cross-sector perspectives from other key participants, including the FBRA driving the circular economy and responsible packaging waste management across agricultural and consumer supply chains, the NCC focusing on the intersection of sustainable digital infrastructure and economic connectivity, the NDPC highlighting data governance and privacy as vital components of a secure digital ecosystem, and MTN Nigeria contributing a corporate sustainability framework centered on environmental responsibility, social impact, and a net-zero emission target by 2040.
Elvis Eromosele, Lead Coordinator of the Africa Sustainability Forum, emphasized that tackling modern agricultural and environmental challenges requires collaborative cross-sector engagement.
“Sustainability is not a conversation that belongs to one industry, one institution or one group of stakeholders,” Eromosele stated. “The challenges we face are interconnected, and so must be the solutions. Bringing regulators, businesses and industry-led sustainability platforms into the same room creates an opportunity to examine what is working, identify the gaps and, importantly, explore how we can move from commitments to practical action.”
The forum will explore critical themes including just transitions, green growth, climate resilience, and sustainable business models. Organizations, agricultural stakeholders, and sustainability professionals looking to participate or sponsor can explore registration details via
