At Ecopath we are developing a circular economy for photocopier, printer and duplicator cartridges in Nigeria. Our mission is to provide affordable and eco-friendly ink and toner cartridges to advance industries with high demand for printouts (education, healthcare, etc.) while also reducing the amount of plastic waste generated. Remanufacturing cartridges sounds like a simple idea, but until now it has not been done anywhere in West Africa.

Our project seek to mitigate these problems by recovering value from schools and offices generated wastes through recovery of used ink and toner cartridges for remanufacturing, re-branding and reselling as an eco-friendly alternative. We hope to replicate this with copy papers as well by first acting first as brokers for recycled papers and later establishing paper recycled plant in Nigeria
