Agriculture has undergone significant development. New technology, mechanisation, increasing chemical use, specialisation, and government policies that supported maximising production all contributed to a rise in its productivity. 

On day five of our trip, we had a roundtable stakeholder event to engage local businesses in Ghana to discuss alternative solutions for plastic packaging.

In recent years, the concept of sustainability and agriculture has gained significant attention.

On day four of our trip, we visited a major Ghanaian business, HPW, and a local plastic bottle recycling business.

Day three was all about getting involved with media engagements and creating more awareness about FRESHPPACT and our mission.

Last month, FRESHPPACT travelled to Ghana together with our solution partners to conduct further research and develop detailed plans to show how their solutions to mitigate plastic pollution will deliver maximum benefit for communities in Ghana.

As part of the first phase of the project, we organised a trip to Ghana with our selected solution providers and consortium members to explore the issue of plastic waste.

FRESHPPACT has shortlisted five solutions with the potential to mitigate plastics pollution in Ghana.
