An electronic waste (e-waste) Hand Over Centre (HOC), meant to serve as a storage or collect point of e-waste products, was inaugurated in Accra on Friday.
Apart from serving as a storage or collection point, the HOC would help facilitate the recycling process of e-waste products in line with global best practices.
The e-waste HOC formed part of the "Recycling and Disposal of Electronic and Electrical Equipment in an Environmentally Sound Way," project initiated by the government, through the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MESTI) in partnership with the German Government, through KfW.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, the sector Minister, Mrs Ophelia Mensah Hayford, said the establishment of the HOC was a testament to the government's commitment to both the environment and public health.
