Ghana Completed Integrated Waste Management

One-stop business and policy centre for the establishment of eco-innovative MSMEs and supporting policies in the e-waste and end-of-life vehicle sector (ECOBPC)

SWITCH Africa Green

Volumes of e-waste and end-of-life vehicles (ELV) in Ghana are increasing by about 49 million tons per year due to a growing population, and in particular due to changing lifestyles, as well as to imports of e-waste and ELV. While there is a high level of reuse and refurbishment of used electrical and electronic equipment and used vehicles and their components, unsound treatment and disposal of e-waste and ELV cause enormous damage to the environment and human health. This project is aimed at supporting eco-entrepreneurship opportunities for the treatment of such waste.
