The Ghana Recycling Initiative by Private Enterprises (GRIPE) has admonished the Ghanaian populace to change their attitude towards the handling of waste.
In an interview on Happy Morning Show aired on Happy 98.9FM, representatives of GRIPE, Naa Ayeley Quaynor and Felix Baidoo advised that Ghanaians have to be responsible when it comes to the handling of waste.
Naa Ayeley Quaynor stated: “In Ghana, we have a littering problem. Be it plastic or organic waste and we need to start educating, creating a behavioral change about how we are disposing waste particularly by separating the different types of waste.”
As a better option of handling and managing waste, Felix Baidoo suggested: “Segregation should be embedded in the Ghanaian culture. We want to see people more responsible in their use of plastics.”
GRIPE is an industry-led coalition formed under the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) with a stake in the plastics sector to integrate sustainable waste management solutions, particularly around plastics.
Join the trio, Samuel Eshun, Fati Shaibu-Ali and Raymond Nyamador on Happy Morning Show every weekday (Monday to Friday) 5:30am to 9:00am.
