3 POLICY DIALOGUE

INTRODUCTION
• Currently, resource recovery from e-waste in
Ghana is almost exclusively informally organized.
• It provides a livelihood for many, but also has
severe negative consequences.
• Materials that are of no use to the scrap workers
are burnt or dumped into the environment,
without considering the indirect costs that are
caused not only locally but also at the global level.
• Such practice gives the informal sector a
competitive advantage vis-à-vis recycling
enterprises in the formal sector, caring for
environmentally sound and socially responsible
recycling, applying occupational health and safety
standards and caring for proper treatment and
elimination of hazardous substances.

INTRODUCTION Cont’d….
The government of Ghana recognized this challenge and passed the
following legislations to tackle the menace.
• Hazardous and Electronic Waste Control and Management Act (Act 917, 2016)
(Eco Levy)
• LI 2250
• Technical guidelines

SUSTAINABLE RECYCLING IN GHANA
SUSTAINABLE RECYCLING IN GHANA 6
• Ghana is currently working on using two (2) approaches to ensure

sustainable recycling. These are;
1. National Integrated Management System, which is part of the processes of
operationalizing Act 917.
2. Support from Development Partners (Germany, Switzerland and the EU)
among others.
• Ultimately, the Ministry is seeking to enhance job creation and
employment, ensure a clean environment and transform the scrap yard
into a collection, dismantling and recycling hub that is adequately
regulated.
National Integrated E-WASTE Management System 13
• The Environmentally Sound Management of E-Waste is one of the the

Projects implemented by GIZ, with MESTI as the Project Executing
Agency (PEA).
• The Project seeks to provide,

1. Policy Support
2. Development of Business Models
3. Support to the informal Sector
• As part of the quest to implement the ACT 917, optimal recycling is

required to define the roles of various actors within the e-waste value
chain.
• Consequently, a workshop on “E-Waste Recycling Options for Ghana”

provided different options for e-waste recycling in Ghana.
• This was a basis for feasibility studies on each option to facilitate decision
making.
• A follow-up workshop for the Ministry of Environment, Science Technology

and Innovation (MESTI) as well as its Agency the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) was conducted and a proposed Optimal Recycling Option
developed.

POLICY DIALOGUE
POLICY DIALOGUE 9
• The Ministry is developing a National EEE Management and Control

Policy with the objective of;
✓Establishing an effective, accountable and transparent framework for

managing and controlling Environmentally Sound Disposal,
✓Collection and Recycling of WEEE in Ghana.
• The Policy Dialogue serves as input into the stakeholder engagement

processes.
POLICY DIALOGUE Cont’d…. 10

OUTLOOK
OUTLOOK 12
• Ghana will be implementing an E-Waste Optical Recycling that

combines manual dismantling and optimal recycling facilities setups
with approval from the EPA according to the legal instruments and
technical guidelines.
• Proposed activities (in fig. 2 SLIDE 10) will also feed into the formation
of the National EEE Management and Control Policy.

Management Act 2016 (ACT 917) is supported by;
• The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development

(BMZ) through;

Background & introduction Results from pilot implementation in
Ghana
• One of the
most pressing Cable fires
pollution issues
in informal e-
waste recycling.
• Aim: Earn
money from
the sale of
copper &
aluminium.
• Alternative
treatment
options more
costly

Ghana
• Establishment of a National E-waste

Fund
• Filled by e-waste levies on imported
equipment
• To be used for sound management
of e-waste and to reduce negative
impacts.
• Amongst others, also for “incentives
for collection, transportation and
disposal”
Main objectives of this project module:

• To pilot incentive based collection of worst polluting e-waste types

Ghana
Starting point
• First in-field test of Piloting Payment
System with a handover centre
Sub-objectives
• Gain practical experiences how the
informal scrap market will react on such
an incentive system.
• Test and evaluate various practical issues
(stakeholder interaction, incentive levels,
transaction modalities….).
• Document & share lessons-learned with
policy-makers (MESTI, EPA, KfW…)

Results Results from pilot implementation in
Ghana
➢ 10 months of operation (22.10.18 – 20.08.19)

➢ 27.3 t of cables collected & channeled to sound recycling
➢ 1389 individual transactions
➢ Significant emission reduction

➢ Established alternative to burning that does not
discriminate small scale collectors and recyclers

Ghana
➢ Incentive based collection is a meaningful way to link

informal collectors to sound recycling and to avoid
polluting practices carried-out under informal conditions.
➢ Beneficiaries are:
➢ Collectors → higher prices for some e-waste types
➢ Formal recyclers → stable access to e-waste
➢ Society → Reduced pollution

Ghana
➢ Suitable for waste types that:

➢ are associated with high environmental impacts if not managed
properly
➢ can easily distinguished from other waste types
➢ where standards, auditing & sanctions are prone to failure

(informal sector settings)
➢ Ongoing financing needed → e.g. EPR-based financing

➢ Very good monitoring of costs and results possible
(collected volumes & emission reductions)
