PACE warns high cost of eco-friendly packaging could slow transition from styrofoam

The Public Action for Climate and Ecosystem (PACE), a student-led environmental advocacy organisation, has cautioned that the high cost of eco-friendly packaging alternatives could slow Ghana's transition away from styrofoam as the country prepares to phase out single-use polystyrene products.

PACE is a climate and environmental advocacy organisation established by eight master's students of the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) to promote public awareness on climate change and ecosystem conservation.

While many people support the policy because of its environmental and public health benefits, others worry about its potential impact on businesses involved in the production and sale of styrofoam products.
