Germany is Helping Ghana to build a €25 million Electronic Waste Recycle Facility and it’s ready
Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community and the environment. The German government is supporting the government of Ghana to build a 25 million euros facility to recycle electronic waste and electronic components in Ghana. The first phase of the project will be completed by the end of this year 2022. Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage recycling through material recovery, or disposal are also considered e-waste. According to Dr Kwaku Afriyie who is Ghana’s minister for environment, science, technology and innovation.

The Federal Government of Germany has decided to commit a total of 25 million Euros to alleviate the environmental impact of electronic waste in Ghana as part of its development cooperation with Ghana in the field of electronic waste management and recycling. This was announced yesterday, March 13, 2017, at an official ceremony at the Alisa Hotel attended by H.E. Christoph Retzlaff, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Ghana, Hon. Prof. Kwabena Frimpong - Boateng, Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, officials from the German Embassy and the ministry, and members of the press.
The three-year e-waste collection and recycling mechanism aims to address the country's e-waste challenges. The project's focal point is the Agbogbloshie waste site, where toxic substances emitted by cable burning pollute both the environment and the sea on a daily basis. The most hazardous e-waste substances will be purchased from the informal sector at competitive prices, collected in a hand-over center, and put to tender for sound recycling under the project.
