$95million Cost Compost Plant Commissioned By Prez Akuffo Addo

Prez Akuffo Addo together with some government officials commissioned an Integrated Composting and Recycling Plant at Adagya in the Bosomtwe District in the Ashanti Region.

The  Integrated Composting and Recycling Plant with a capacity to process 2,400 tonnes of waste daily,commissioned on 29th September,2020 is said to cost US$95 million.

However, World Bank estimated that poor sanitation was costing Ghana’s economy around 420 million Ghana cedis ($290 million) each year, equivalent to 1.6% of its GDP, in 2012.

Speaking during the commissioning of the plant, President Akufo-Addo said the plant which is arguably one of the largest in the continent would treat solid and plastic waste from the Kumasi metropolis and neighboring  districts into reusable materials and organic products.

Waste management is a nationwide issue in Ghana and its obvious Kumasi is one of the city in Ghana that generates about 3,000 metric tonnes of waste a day including Accra.

 The Plant, when fully operational, will get at least 2,300 people, 800 of them being directly employed in the plant, emphasized by the Government Officials
