With over 3,000 metric tons of plastic waste generated daily, Ghana’s cities face mounting waste crises. We support legal frameworks for waste reduction, recycling, and circular economy solutions.
Every day, Ghana produces thousands of tons of waste — much of which ends up clogging drains, flooding streets, and polluting landscapes. Despite efforts, nearly 60% of waste goes uncollected, and less than 10% gets recycled.
Why It Matters:
- Plastic waste fuels deadly urban flooding
- Uncollected trash breeds disease and pests
- Lost economic potential from recyclable materials
Root Causes:
- Weak infrastructure and logistical gaps
- Limited public education on recycling
- Lack of incentives for private sector involvement
Fixing the System:
- Build integrated waste management systems
- Promote circular economies and green jobs
- Launch behavior change campaigns in schools and communities
From refuse to resource — waste reform isn’t just cleanup, it’s transformation.
