Styrofoam Ban: EPA launches second public awareness campaign in Kumasi

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has taken its public awareness campaign on Ghana’s impending ban on polystyrene products to Kumasi, as the country moves closer to the January 2027 implementation of the policy.

The Authority is intensifying public education on the rationale behind the ban, the environmental concerns associated with polystyrene products, available alternatives, and what manufacturers, distributors, businesses and consumers must do to prepare for the implementation.

The Kumasi campaign, being led by the CEO of the authority, Prof Nana Ama Browne Klutse, is the EPA’s second major public awareness exercise targeting the middle belt of the country, following the national campaign launch at Makola in Accra.
