00:00These former solar panel parts were going to waste.
00:03Now, they light a home in Lagos.
00:05As solar power expands across Nigeria, a new challenge is emerging.
00:10Old solar panels and dead batteries are piling up in landfills.
00:14But now, startup Quadloop is giving them a second life.
00:17It collects them, repairs them, or turns them into affordable solar lanterns and solar home systems.
00:23The goal? To lower costs, reduce waste, and bring clean energy within reach for more families, the lanterns are made
00:31from 70% recycled material.
00:33Quadloop says each lamp stops 2.5 kg of e-waste going to landfill.
00:38Solar lanterns can make a big difference to low-income households in Africa.
00:42Because green energy isn't just about installing solar panels.
00:46It's about keeping recycling in mind every step of the way.
