Entrepreneurship in Ghana (Intro+full)

If reducing the production of plastic (at least its growth) is the main priority, safe waste storage (knowing that about 80% of plastic waste ends up in nature) and recycling are important too. Research conducted by the Ghana Climate Innovation Centre (GCIC) states that Ghana could generate more than GHC 88 million annually by recycling plastic waste.
To solve the issue of waste management in the Ashanti Region, Premier Waste Services produces low cost, affordable and quality flakes from plastic waste by:
a) Recycling plastic waste and PET bottles into re-useable materials.
b) Facilitating a cleaner environment by re-using discarded plastic materials.
c) Reducing the use of landfill sites by recycling plastic waste.
The flakes are sold to plastic manufacturing companies and waste management companies in and outside of Ghana. Premier Waste’s partners are waste management companies, waste pickers, and Ghana’s Environmental Protection Agency.
