What Hinckley Recycling does

Hinckley E-Waste Recycling Limited is a Nigerian company developing Nigeria's first large-scale battery recycling facilities in Ogun State. The company addresses a critical infrastructure gap in Nigeria's electronic waste management, particularly for end-of-life batteries from industrial, commercial, and government sources, including the growing renewable energy sector. Its core offering involves constructing and operating specialized battery recycling facilities with proprietary processing technology for batteries and e-waste, positioning it as a first-mover in the Nigerian market for large-scale battery recycling. The company is backed by impact investors including All On ($1.5 million, September 2025), Goodwell Investments, and Alitheia Capital.

The company's business model is service-based, generating revenue from processing and recycling batteries and electronic waste through direct B2B relationships. It employs a sales-led go-to-market strategy targeting enterprise and government customers, with pricing negotiated directly rather than publicly disclosed. The company serves two primary customer segments: industrial and commercial businesses with battery disposal needs (particularly in renewable energy), and government entities requiring e-waste management and environmental compliance. It also operates through a subsidiary, Hinckley Group Africa, which serves as a Canon authorised service centre providing printer and multifunction device repair services in Nigeria.

Hinckley is headquartered in Lagos, with manufacturing/production operations planned in Ogun State. The company has 1-10 employees, consistent with its pre-commercial or early-commercial stage as facilities remain under development. Its GTM motion relies on partnerships with impact investment firms and PR/earned media channels rather than traditional marketing, leveraging investor credibility for market access.
