Ghana company constructs novel solution for plastic waste

ACCRA - Ghana generates around 22,000 tons of plastic waste per year but it recycles only about 2 percent.

The rest find their way into landfill sites, drains, water bodies and other open places, causing hazards to the environment.

Seeking to lessen the damage, a Ghanaian company has come up with an innovative way of using plastic waste to produce pavement blocks and other building materials.
