The Problem

Nigeria's recycling industry is fragmented

Nigeria generates over 30 million tons of waste annually, yet less than 15% is recycled.

Industry challenges

  • No structured marketplace for recyclable materials
  • Households and businesses lack access to verified buyers
  • Waste collection systems remain inefficient and informal
  • Waste pricing is inconsistent and non-transparent
  • Recycling awareness remains low

What this leads to

  • Environmental pollution
  • Resource wastage
  • Lost economic opportunities
  • Limited recycling participation
  • Inefficient material recovery

Why Now

The market is ready for digitization

Increasing urbanization, rising waste generation, growing environmental awareness, and widespread mobile adoption have created the perfect conditions for a digital recycling ecosystem.

Rapid Urbanization

Africa's cities are growing faster than any region on earth.

Rising Waste Generation

Lagos alone produces 13,000+ tons of waste every day.

Environmental Awareness
