as part of efforts to deepen collaboration in sustainable waste management and
environmental innovation.
The
visit was hosted by Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Executive Chairman of the Jospong
Group of Companies, which operates the facility.

leverage collaboration in addressing development challenges through innovation.

practical, homegrown solutions to environmental and economic challenges across
the continent.
