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.
