Proper recycling of electronic materials is central to combating the worst climate change impact, Nana Yaw Konadu, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Electro Ghana Limited, has said. He stated that used products, especially plastic materials from television sets, radio, computers and car batteries were resources that could fetch incomes for households, if treated well-through collection and recycling. Nana Konadu, who is also the Co-Founder of Electro Ghana, a recycling company that collects products for recycling, stated this when he conducted a team from the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) and the German Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Daniel Krull, round his recycling company in Accra. Later in an interview with the Ghanaian Times, Nana Konadu urged Ghanaians to treat used materials from metals, plastics and those at the end of their life cycle as resources and not as waste. He said what people referred to as wastes were resourceful materials, which if handled well could contribute to the growth of the circular economy.
