To align technological advancement with its long-term environmental stewardship, Hydrogen Payment Services has come up with a bold e-waste initiative focused not just on responsible disposal, but on environmental renewal—turning discarded devices into trees.
This sustainability strategy is built on transparency and measurable action, allowing each stage of the e-waste process to be tracked, audited, and reported to ensure accountability—and to contribute to the company’s long-term ESG goals and carbon credit targets.
With this new policy, Hydrogen has created a dedicated e-waste drop-off system at its offices to ensure safe and traceable disposal of obsolete devices.
In addition, it will have regular environmental education for all staff, reinforcing its internal culture of responsibility, and begin the planting of trees tied directly to the volume of waste processed, allowing the organisation to convert harmful materials into meaningful environmental impact.
With Nigeria generating over 500 tons of electronic waste annually—making it the largest e-waste producer in West Africa—Hydrogen is stepping up to address a critical but often ignored threat in the digital finance ecosystem.
From outdated POS terminals to unused card readers, electronic waste poses environmental and health risks that demand urgent attention.
While partnering with certified recyclers, the spotlight remains on Hydrogen’s leadership in creating a circular model for tech infrastructure: one that reduces harm, restores nature, and inspires industry-wide change.
The Managing Director of Hydrogen Payment Services, Ms Kemi Okusanya, said, “We understand that progress must be responsible.
“We are not just collecting waste—we are actively restoring the environment by planting trees for every kilogram of e-waste processed. This is sustainability in action.”
She assured that “this is not a one-off; it’s part of how we build, operate, and lead—with the planet in mind. Our journey to influence is as much about innovation as it is about impact.”
