Abstract: The global society has undergone paradigm shift from environmental protection towards sustainability. The issue of sustainable development has not been fully integrated into Nigeria system; that is why we still witness indiscriminate dumping of recyclable end of life products on the road sides. The roles effective and efficient product life cycle management which considers the entire life cycle of product from inception, through engineering design and manufacture, to service and disposal of manufactured products can play in ensuring sustainable development in any given country can never be overemphasized. This paper reviews product lifecycle management using plastics as a case. It brings out the roles effective and efficient lifecycle engineering can play in supporting sustainable development in Nigeria, and the strategies that can be adopted in achieving sustainable manufacturing in Nigerian manufacturing sector.
