About EcoMint
We're on a mission to transform Nigeria's waste management landscape by creating a sustainable ecosystem where waste becomes wealth for everyone involved.
Our Mission
To change the perception of waste in Nigeria from a disposable nuisance to a valuable, tradeable commodity. We believe that by creating economic incentives around waste collection and recycling, we can build a more sustainable future while empowering communities.
EcoMint bridges the gap between waste generators and recycling facilities, creating a seamless marketplace that benefits everyone - from individual households to large-scale recycling operations.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where zero waste goes to landfills, where every recyclable material finds its way back into the circular economy, and where environmental stewardship is rewarded with tangible economic benefits.

1. Schedule Pickup
Users schedule convenient pickup times through our mobile app or website, specifying the types and quantities of recyclable materials.
2. Collection & Sorting
Our trained collection partners pick up materials, sort them according to quality and type, and transport them to processing facilities.
3. Earn Rewards
Users earn EcoPoints based on the weight and quality of materials collected, which can be redeemed for cash or eco-friendly products.
Our Impact So Far
Since launching our pilot program, we've made significant strides in transforming waste management in Lagos.
