Jekora Ventures Limited, a leading waste segregation and management company, has rewarded Methodist Girls' Senior High School (MEGHISS) at Mamfe Akuapem in the Eastern Region with 12 waste bins for emerging winner of the 7th edition of the Planet Broadway Drama Festival competition, organised by Heritage Africa.
Speaking at a brief presentation ceremony, Emmanuel Chainortey, General Manager in charge of Segregation and Innovations, said the reward formed part of the company's commitment to supporting waste segregation initiatives in schools across the country.
He noted that the support was not only to reward the school but also to fulfil the company's promise to contribute to the country's vision of making Ghana the cleanest country in Africa. "In pursuit of that agenda, Jekora Ventures Limited has designed a comprehensive strategy to tackle sanitation issues by donating refuse bins to various schools, including MEGHISS, for effective waste segregation to promote good sanitation in the country," he said.
Highlighting the significance of waste management, Chainortey emphasised that, "Solid waste segregation at the source of generation is the prerequisite…to provide quality feedstock to engender the commercial viability of recycled products." He explained that once waste is properly segregated at the source, it paves the way for a vibrant circular economy. "The circular economy then takes over when consumers get value-for-money products.
