Business News of Thursday, 16 September 2021Source: GNAThe Pure Water Waste Collector Association (PWWCA) has called for an industrial hub in the plastic programme yet to be out-doored by Government to end the plastic menace in the country. Mr Oppong indicated that generating plastic waste had become part of everyday life and that setting up a hub under the One-District-One-Factory initiative to “recycle, reuse and reduce” would create employment and halt plastic pollution. He said some neighbouring countries, including Togo, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast had been bringing their plastic waste to Ghana for recycling and that Government's ability to set up an industry could make Ghana a plastic recycling hub in the sub-region and create jobs for the youth. Plastic waste can be equated to gold mines. Plastic waste has found its way into surface water and marine environments with negative impacts on the ecosystem.
