Hydrogen Payment Services Champions E-Waste Sustainability With Tree-Planting Initiative

As part of its growing commitment to environmental sustainability, Hydrogen Payment Services has launched a bold e-waste initiative focused not just on responsible disposal, but on environmental renewal – turning discarded devices into trees.

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From outdated POS terminals to unused card readers, electronic waste poses environmental and health risks that demand urgent attention.

“At Hydrogen, 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”, Kemi Okusanya, Managing Director, Hydrogen Payment Services said.

The initiative includes a dedicated e-waste drop-off system at Hydrogen’s office to ensure safe and traceable disposal of obsolete devices; environmental education for all staff, reinforcing Hydrogen’s internal culture of responsibility and tree planting tied directly to the volume of waste processed, allowing the company to convert harmful materials into meaningful environmental impact.

Hydrogen’s sustainability strategy is built on transparency and measurable action. Each stage of the e-waste process is tracked, audited, and reported to ensure accountability – and to contribute to the company’s long-term ESG goals and carbon credit targets.

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.

“This is not a one-off”, Okusanya added. “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.

This initiative is one of many steps Hydrogen is taking to align technological advancement with long-term environmental stewardship.
