Green Waste Management Value Chain in Nigeria and Ghana

One of the most visible catastrophic problems caused by our unbridled production and consumption is the growing quantities of Solid Waste (SW) generations. Around the world, humans are creating 1.3 billion tons of solid waste annually, which is expected to rise to 2.2 billion tons by 2025. Solid waste management is a value chain that involves waste generation, separation, processing, distribution, collection, and disposal. Take a look at the Waste Management Supply Chain Map

Humans are the only part of ecosystems that generate waste - but its sustainable management can create jobs and cut greenhouse gas emissions, the head of UN Environment’s Almaty Office has underlined during a major conference on waste recycling and green energy. Every year, an estimated 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste is collected worldwide. Yet systems to manage waste sustainably “can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% per year,” she stressed in a video message during the Green Energy and Waste Recycling Forum being held in Astana, Kazakhstan on 27-28 October.

Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste

Waste generated from electrical and electronic equipment collectively known as e-waste has remained a persistent environmental problem. Globally, approximately 53.6 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2019. Of this amount generated, less than 13% was recycled and the rest ended up in landfills or incinerators creating enormous environmental and health concerns due to the presence of hazardous materials.

Mismanaged of Waste in Africa

According to the UNEP Outlook Africa Waste Management the mismanage of waste in Africa could cause severe economic, social and environmental impacts with an estimation of 250 million tonnes of Municipal Solid Waste generated per year in 2025. Bringing waste under control and harness the opportunity if “waste as a resource” are the two areas of intervention to address the situation, through the following key actions: capacity-building and awareness-raising, improved evidence for informed decision-making and implementation solutions, strengthened policies, monitoring and enforcement capacities, appropriate services and technologies.
