Recycling

Swisscontact Ghana has hosted the inaugural Recircle Ghana stakeholder meetup, the first in a series of dialogues aimed at strengthening collaboration and innovation within Ghana’s recycling ecosystem.

Held at the Swisscontact Ghana office in Accra, the intimate session brought together key players from across the recycling value chain, including representatives from, TID Global International, Zoomlion Ghana Ltd, Pangea Africa, AHK Ghana, Maiden Environmental Services.

In a move toward sustainable development and youth empowerment, Swisscontact Ghana (SC Ghana) has partnered with Electro Recycling Ghana (ERG) to pilot SesaTec, a transformative initiative designed to turn electronic waste into tools for economic and social progress.

Can Ghana turn its waste crisis into a circular economy success story? With landfills overflowing, plastic clogging waterways, and harmful fumes rising from open waste burning, the need for sustainable solutions has never been more urgent. On 18 March 2024, Swisscontact Ghana, in partnership with the Swiss Embassy and the Association of Ghana Industries, brought together changemakers at the “Zero Waste to Landfill – It Is Possible” dialogue. Hosted at the residence of the Swiss Ambassador, the event sparked bold conversations and showcased innovative approaches to tackling Ghana’s waste challenge—highlighting that sustainability isn’t just a choice, it’s an imperative.
