Ghana and Germany urged to deepen cooperation on PET recycling – Ambassador

Ghana and Germany have been encouraged to strengthen cooperation in plastic waste recycling and management using the PET technology to promote a circular economy and protect the environment.6 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated annually in Nigeria and Ghana, with only nine per cent being collected for recycling,” the Business Head said.

The Ambassador said the facility demonstrated the potential of turning plastic waste into value locally, adding that the recycling chain – from collection and sorting to processing and manufacturing – would create stable jobs and strengthen local economies.
