The E-waste handover centre in Accra is making significant strides in tackling environmental pollution through sustainable recycling efforts. Since its launch in October 2024, the facility has received an impressive 900 tonnes of electronic waste, including cables, batteries, thermoplastics, and Cathode Ray Televisions.
This achievement is a testament to the growing national awareness of the importance of proper e-waste disposal. With 114 truck deliveries already made to the centre, it is evident that more and more individuals and organizations are recognizing the need to responsibly discard their electronic equipment.
Dr. Vincent Nartey Kyere, E-waste Team Leader at the Ministry of Environment, Science, and Technology, highlighted the collaborative efforts of various holding centres in Accra, Kumasi, and Koforidua in contributing to the waste inflow. This united front is crucial in ensuring the success of sustainable recycling initiatives and ultimately reducing environmental harm.
The President of Ghana, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, has emphasized the importance of collaboration with development partners, such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to drive socio-economic transformation in the country. By working together towards a common agenda, Ghana can continue to make positive strides in environmental conservation and sustainable development.
The success of the E-waste handover centre in Accra serves as a reminder of the impact that collective action can have on environmental preservation. As we continue to re-imagine leadership and prioritize sustainable practices, we can pave the way for a cleaner and greener future for
