Published

on

Accra Metropolitan University (Accra Met) has publicly commended a young Ghanaian innovator who is transforming the fight against plastic pollution by producing biodegradable plastics from sugarcane fibre. Her groundbreaking work has caught national attention, including that of the President of the Republic, who recently expressed excitement about the innovation, especially in the context of discussions on a potential ban on single-use plastics.

The President, vocal about Ghana’s need to transition away from plastic dependency, highlighted how innovations like this align with broader goals of sustainability and environmental protection. He noted that such solutions not only support the agenda to restrict harmful plastics but also help reduce reliance on wood, thereby preserving Ghana’s forests and promoting ecological balance.

The President of the University, Professor Madam Goski Alabi, praised the innovator’s ingenuity, remarking that her work exemplifies the values Accra Met instills in its community.

“This is exactly the kind of innovation that defines our future,” said Prof. Goski. “As an institution deeply rooted in sustainable leadership, we are thrilled to see young Ghanaians addressing environmental challenges through creativity and science. She is not only helping the environment but also inspiring a new wave of sustainable entrepreneurs.”
