Nestle limited has announced new collaborative clean-up plan against plastic waste in Ghana.
Nestlé is looking to develop the well-organised collection, sorting and recycling schemes across all countries where it operates.
The company says it is supporting government’s efforts to better manage plastic waste, as one of eight founding members of the Ghana Recycling Initiative by Private Enterprises (GRIPE).
"As part of this coalition, Nestlé is working with other major industrial companies including Unilever and Coca-Cola, to integrate sustainable waste management solutions and advocate for improved waste management practices in Ghana," the company's official website said.
With a population of more than 28 million, the country has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world today, but has a severe and fast-growing waste management problem.
The coalition’s main aims include contributing to increased collection and recycling rates across the country, provide employment opportunities through scalable recycling solutions, and engaging with the government to help tackle the problem of plastic waste.
