Get insightful updates about AppCyclers and E-Waste in Africa
We are thrilled to announce that AppCyclers has been selected as one of the winners in the Standard Chartered Women in Tech (SCWIT) Incubator Program – Cohort 4, led by our co-founder, Hadija Alidu.
While 2022 was a step forward in achieving most of our targets and impactful work, 2023 was equally a year in which we experienced significant progress as we strived to execute our commitments towards sustainable e-waste management in Northern Ghana.
AppCyclers, an innovative e-waste management startup that utilizes web technology, data analysis, and community sensitization programs to ensure the safe disposal and management of e-waste in Ghana, has been selected as one of the sustainability startups to exhibit at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023.
We are delighted to share the exciting news that AppCyclers has been chosen as the Startup of the Month by the International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3).
Ghana-based AppCyclers aims to tackle the e-waste crisis across Africa via an online marketplace, where individuals and businesses can buy and sell recyclable e-waste. The startup says its mission is to maximize the reuse and recycling of electronic materials.
E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to any discarded electronic device. The high turnover rate of electronic devices combined with our booming consumer culture has led to a staggering increase in e-waste that poses a serious threat to our environment and health.
