Network for collecting electronic waste (phones, computers, batteries) in African cities, sold to certified recycling chains and partially refurbished for low-cost resale. Customers receive a purchase voucher in exchange.
The Problem
Electronic waste accumulates in Africa due to lack of processing channels; it represents a major pollution source (lead, mercury) for groundwater.
The Opportunity
The African e-waste market is valued at several billion USD/year and companies seek measurable CSR solutions.
The Concept
Collection points in companies and schools, on-demand home collection, reconditioning workshop for recoverable devices, and resale to low-income households.
The "Secret Sauce" (USP)
- Purchase voucher given to depositor: strong incentive
- Dual revenue: raw materials + refurbished device sales
- CSR contracts with companies for mass collection
Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
To get started quickly:5 collection points (3 companies + 2 schools) for 3 months, reconditioning 20 phones and selling to third parties.
