About us

Where waste meets worth

Top Point Recyclers started with a simple idea: if plastic waste can be transformed into something valuable, then the same should be true for the people whose potential is often overlooked.

Today, we collect, sort, and recycle PET plastic bottles into high-quality raw materials supplied to manufacturers across Nigeria. At the same time, we create employment and income opportunities for marginalized women in Northern Nigeria, who make up more than 80% of our workforce.

For us, recycling has never been only about protecting the environment. It's about creating opportunities, building stronger communities, and proving that a business can grow while making a real difference in people's lives.

Plastic bottles have value and every woman has potential — and both deserve a second chance.

Why we empower women

Women are at the heart of our business

More than 80% of our workforce are women who play an essential role in sorting, processing, and preparing recyclable materials.

When women earn more, families become more financially secure, communities become stronger, and local economies grow.

We train and employ young widows and divorcees — helping them become breadwinners and sustainability advocates in their communities.

What drives us

Sustainability and opportunity, growing together

Top Point Recyclers is building a business where protecting the environment and creating economic opportunity are one and the same goal.

Our Vision

We are building more than a recycling company.

We are building a business where environmental sustainability and economic opportunity grow together — becoming one of Africa's leading recycling companies while creating lasting opportunities for marginalized women and reducing plastic pollution across our communities.

Our Mission

Recovering plastic waste and unlocking opportunity.

To recover plastic waste, supply high-quality recycled materials to industry, and create meaningful economic opportunities for women through employment, skills development, and entrepreneurship.
