Under the leadership of Dr. William Agyapong, the committee congratulated Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyapong for his innovation.
The parliamentary committee on local government and rural development was completely shocked when it visited Zoomlion's newly introduced integrated composting and recycling plant (iReCop) in the Accra Waste Recovery Park (AWARP). ) in Accra.
The plant, set up to recover more than 90% of all types of waste and create more than 5,000 jobs in the waste management value chain, was commissioned last Friday by Vice President Mahamudu. Bawumia and has been incorporated into the popular policy of the government "A district, a factory". (1D1F).
Led by the chair of the committee and MP for Akim-Oda, the Hon. William Agyapong, members of the committee praised the executive chairman of the Jospong group of companies, Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyapong and the owner of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, who organized and installed the facility in order to put a term to the problems of waste management in certain parts of the territory. The Accra Metropolitan Assembly region is particularly concerned about its foresight and its commitment to help solve the many problems in Ghana.
The MEPs, however, asked Zoomlion to find ways to separate the waste in order to ensure that the organic compost produced by the factory is free of plastic. They requested that the plant be replicated in the various regions and densely populated districts.
Upon commissioning, Mr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong said that, following the findings of a pilot study conducted by his team on source separation waste, Ghana was not ready for separation at source because they were beginning to understand now why the waste had to be disposed of. collected and managed.
It is for this reason that he decided to use innovation to create a plant capable of receiving all kinds of waste while being able to separate them and process them for economic purposes.
Mr. Agyepong, however, badured that his team was making every effort to educate the Ghanaian public, so that it could adapt to the separation of waste sources.
Glenn Gyimah, head of research and quality badurance at the plant, dispelled MPs' fears that there was a mechanism to ensure that the end product did not contain plastic.
He said the factory was the result of a scientific research conducted under the auspices of Zoomlion Ghana Limited to solve the existing problems of lack of attention and care for the disposal of waste .
