Ensuring the responsible recycling of e-waste.
At the end of a conference, the attendee bag is full: a branded USB stick, a power bank with a logo, maybe a mini speaker or a desk fan. Fun little gadgets, but they’re also electrical and electronic equipment, and most of them end up in a drawer.
At the occasion of the upcoming International E-Waste Day, a reminder for companies and event organisers to avoid Fast Tech and find more sustainable alternatives to promote their businesses.

Fast Tech: Don’t bin it, bring it!
01/10/2026
🇳🇬 Happy Independence Day, Nigeria!
Today, we celebrate our nation, our people, and the work we all contribute towards a cleaner, safer and more sustainable Nigeria.
Here’s to a Nigeria where responsible e-waste management becomes part of how we build a better future.
Happy Independence Day! 🇳🇬
A mini blender bought for a social media trend. A juicer used twice. Many kitchens hide a real graveyard of small appliances, Fast Tech bought quickly, used briefly, then forgotten.
All of these appliances contain electronic components, often cables or batteries, which is exactly why they don't belong in the regular trash! For the upcoming International E-Waste Day, check your kitchen drawers and cupboards: what could you donate or hand in for proper recycling?

Fast tech: don't bin it, bring it!
90 Organisations from 44 countries across the globe already joined International E-Waste Day, taking place on 14 October.
There's still time to join the global movement. Whether you are planning a collection campaign, an educational activity, an event, a social media campaign or another initiative around e-waste, register your activity and become part of International E-Waste Day 2026.
This year, we're putting the spotlight on Fast Tech: the small, inexpensive electronic products that are too forgotten in drawers or discarded without a second though.
Fast Tech: Don't bin it, bring it!
Wearables, fitness bands, affordable smartwatches, wireless earbuds, are among the most frequently bought and abandoned "Fast Tech" products.
They're small and easy to forget, but they contain batteries and electronic components that shouldn't go in the regular trash.
On the upcoming International E-Waste Day, ask yourself: how many wearables are sitting unused around your home? Take them to a collection point, don't let them become "invisible" e-waste.

Fast tech: don't bin it, bring it!
Single-use vapes, power banks, fitness trackers, wireless earbuds, all these "Fast Tech" products have one thing in common: lithium-ion batteries.
When thrown into regular household trash or ordinary paper/plastic recycling, these batteries can get crushed or punctured during collection and transport, which can spark fires.
The solution is simple: batteries and the devices that contain them should never go in the regular trash. They belong at dedicated collection points, where they're handled safely.

What if your old electronics weren't the end of the story?
A device that is no longer useful to you may still have value.
It could be repaired, reused, refurbished, or recycled: keeping products and materials in use for longer and reducing unnecessary waste.
That is one of the principles behind the circular economy: making better use of the resources we already have.
Before you throw it away, ask:
Can it be given a second life?

Compliance works better when producers participate.
A strong EPR system depends on the participation of producers placing electrical and electronic equipment on the Nigerian market.
Through registration and compliance, producers become part of the system working towards responsible collection and recycling of e-waste.
Every producer that joins strengthens the collective effort to manage e-waste responsibly.
Are you a producer? Have you joined the EPRON compliance programme?

Being a producer doesn't end at the point of sale.
The journey of an electrical or electronic product continues long after it reaches the consumer.
Extended Producer Responsibility encourages producers to take responsibility for the environmental impact of their products throughout their lifecycle.
By participating in an organized EPR system, producers contribute to better collection, responsible recycling and a more circular economy.
The product may leave your warehouse, but responsibility doesn't end there.

EPR is more than a policy, it is a system that must work in practice.
For countries developing EPR systems, the real challenge lies in translating policies and guidelines into effective collection, responsible recycling and measurable environmental outcomes.
Nigeria's EPR journey continues to evolve, with stakeholders working across the e-waste value chain.
Understanding what works, what doesn't, and the challenges encountered is essential to strengthening EPR implementation.
What lessons can emerging EPR systems learn from one another?
