City Waste Recycling

Establishing formal and responsible waste and e-waste management
2016 SAG-SEED Award Lauréat-e Waste Management Accra, Ghana

CWR recycles waste ranging from e-waste and batteries to sawdust and plastic, which it sources from local industries and waste collectors in the city of Ho. From this waste, CWR generates products such as plastic pellets, printed circuit boards and biogas (compost) and exports recycled e-waste products.

CWR currently represents the only formal e-waste recycling company in Ghana, a country with a major informal e-waste processing problem.
