About SPARE
Matex International Limited, a private limited company incorporated under Malawi’s Business Names Registration Act (CAP 46.02), launched the Saving the Planet through Active Refurbishing and Repurposing E-waste (SPARE) project.
SPARE is a pioneering initiative based in Area 25, Choto, Lilongwe, and is dedicated to promoting circular economy practices through the collection, safe storage, refurbishment, and repurposing of e-waste.
The project targets waste from government ministries, solar companies, electronic retailers, institutions, and households. Refurbished products and recovered components are then offered to the public at affordable prices.
