Repair & ReuseLagosComputer Village circular e-waste: LagosPut one device on the market: recycle one in Lagos In Computer Village, Lagos's electronics trading hub, traders collect end-of-life laptops and phones for professional recycling. GIZ piloted a “put one on the market, recycle one” model with Closing the Loop and local partners, buyers in the Global North fund proper recycling when new devices sell. The model is shared worldwide through the PREVENT Waste Alliance (GIZ secretariat). What you can do - Repair shops and traders: connect with programmes that pay for whole devices sent to certified recyclers instead of informal dismantling - European buyers: choose suppliers enrolled in compensation schemes for African e-waste fractions - Circular-economy groups: join PREVENT working groups on problematic e-waste fractions How it works Middlemen like Iliya Abba's warehouse in Computer Village ship intact devices to recyclers such as Hinckley in Lekki; PREVENT scales the financing model across countries. Why it matters Fair recycling needs fair finance, bonused take-back beats toxic backyard burning. Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.
