Executive Summary
Organic waste constitutes 46% of global waste generated annually and about 60% of waste generated
in Ghana. Its share of annual global waste generated is expected to increase to 70% by the year 2050
making the Organic Waste Recycling Industry a spot for endless and thriving opportunities.
Globally, there is an outpour of legislations and policies such as California’s AB-1862 law which sets a
series of mandatory requirements on organic waste recycling for businesses that generate more than
four cubic yards of commercial solid waste per week mandating businesses to act in a particular way.
In Ghana, although the industry has a promising market size of about GHS49.7B, re-purposing organic
waste is seemingly a new concept. However, there has been big strides towards large scale organic
waste recycling evidenced by the establishment of Sewage Ghana Systems, a business turning human
waste into gas and cooking fuel.
Businesses in Ghana within the industry face a myriad of challenges one being the huge initial set-
up investment and most importantly the lack of the culture of segregation of waste increasing cost of
production along the value chain. Despite the challenges, huge opportunities exist within the value
chain making innovations like Vegware and AlterWaste, companies manufacturing disposable and
compostable packaging from organic waste, relevant in the wake of single-use plastic bans across the
globe. Pride Pad also provides a good alternative to non-biodegradable sanitary towels in the Ghanaian
market and also serves as a low-cost option for school girls and women from low-income backgrounds
who have limited financial access to menstrual hygiene products.
Ultimately, investment in sensitisation and education of the public about the usefulness of waste and
segregation could help change consumer attitudes towards waste handling encouraging a culture of
segregation.
This report utilises secondary information gathered primarily through desk research to present an
overview of the strides, challenges and future trajectory of the Organic waste recycling industry globally
and in Ghana.

Global Industry Outlook – Emerging and

Regulatory Trends
Organic waste makes up 46% of the 2 billion tonnes of waste generated globally every year, and this
number is expected to grow 70% by 2050. As such many governments and organizations are exploring
numerous ways of repurposing organic waste, including producing biogas and manure, promoting
food waste composting, and using technologies like smart bins, and robotic waste sorters. Also, many
governments around the world are creating legislation and implementing policies to govern the organic
waste management industry. Some of these regulations and policy efforts are discussed below:
• California’s AB-1862 law sets a series of mandatory requirements on organic waste recycling for
businesses that generate more than four cubic yards of commercial solid waste per week (Jacquelyn
Amour Jampolsky, 2016).
• The Organic Matter Recycling Regulations & Guidelines in British Columbia, Canada, gives guidelines
on how compost producers and local governments should use organic material, while protecting drinking
water sources and soil quality (Environmental Management Act; Public Health Act, 2002)
• South Africa’s construction of the largest waste to energy plant in Africa in 2016, creating 80 full time
jobs and hundreds of other part-time jobs shows government’s commitment to organic waste recycling.
Industry Trends in Ghana

Some Ghanaian businesses already repurpose their organic waste into other more productive value
chains, like Guinness Ghana Limited (Kumasi) selling yeast and spent grain to be used as animal feed
(Okyere Asmoah, 2011). This practice however, is not common in the country. Other ways of reusing
organic waste, such as composting and biogas production, are not largely practised in Ghana, unlike in
other African countries like South Africa and Uganda (Okyere Asmoah, 2011).
However, there are many Ghanaian businesses and organizations that are pursuing opportunities in the
industry. The Safi Sana project for example, funded by the African Development Bank and Government
of Netherlands, produces energy from faecal matter and other organic waste, as well as organic fertilizers
(Ghana News Agency, 2017). Some other waste management businesses too, like Jekora Ventures and
Zoom Lion, are exploring plans to generate energy from waste, so as to diversify their revenue streams
and add value to the waste management sector.
The new sewage waste recycling plant at Lavender Hill which started operations in January 2018 has
provided a face-lift to the once destroyed waste disposal sites in Ghana. Sewage Ghana Systems
currently has about 200 trucks offloading faecal matter from the city onto the site which transforms
waste into energy, organic fertilizer and cooking fuel for homes. The commitment of both private and
government sector to repurpose waste presents a good opportunity to generate significant revenue from
recycled organic waste.

5
However, these businesses face multiple challenges in Ghana, largely because of the socio-cultural
milieu of the country. In waste collection, for instance, most Ghanaian households dump their waste in
makeshift landfills and the ocean, thus making it difficult to collect refuse. For households that do use
them, waste collection trucks and tricycles in cities do not segregate the collected waste, thus making it
difficult and expensive for organic waste recycling companies to sort post-consumer waste.
The government is making efforts to promote organic waste management and recycling businesses
through programs that create awareness about the industry and connect industry stakeholders. For
example the recent “Managing Waste Through Hacking” conference organized by the Ministry of
Sanitation and Water Resources (MSWR) brought together professionals and advocates in the industry
to have discussions about practices and technologies in the industry (Gyasi, 2018).
Industry Economic Outlook in Ghana

Organic waste, which consists mainly of kitchen and farm waste, as well as human and animal excreta,
makes up 60% of all waste generated in Ghana (Ahiataku-Togobo, 2015). This presents a good
opportunity for Ghanaian enterprises to add value to organic waste collected.
Fig: 1.1: Market size of the industry
Initial entry into the sector, however, requires significant capital investment to set up the infrastructure and
comply with regulations. The operational costs of running the waste management facility, however, does
not increase proportionately with waste disposal volume. The Ghana National Solid waste Management
Association estimates that the average unit cost of a typical municipal facility declines by 70% as its
capacity increases from 250 to 3,000 tons per day (Samwine et al., 2017).

6
Industry Regulatory Trends in Ghana

The Ghanaian government in 2010 created the Environmental Sanitation Policy (ESP), with the aim to
develop a clear vision for environmental sanitation as a social and public health necessity. The policy
has served as a regulatory guide to waste management companies and relevant stakeholders in the
sector for implementing sanitation programs. The main stakeholders this policy takes into account are
outlined below:
National regulators
• Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (MLGRD) and Ministry of Sanitation and water
resources (MSWR) - government agencies responsible for formulating and implementing environmental
sanitation policies
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - monitors and enforces environmental standards.
Local government
• Metropolitan Assemblies responsible for waste management in urban areas
• Waste Management Department, which monitors the activities of the private waste management
companies.
Organizations and Management

• NGOs that focus on waste management and community sensitization
• Community Based Organizations (CBO’s) that lobby the government to improve services and
environmental conditions in the community.
• Recycling companies and households that generate the waste
Market response to the industry

The organic waste recycling industry in Ghana mostly centres on compost and animal feed production
for crop production and animal production. Recently however, the sector has been re-focusing on energy
production from waste via biogas production and using the waste as alternative fuels. This is a good
opportunity for Ghanaian businesses to tap into a potential sustainable energy generation value chain,
in addition to the current market for organic fertilizer. Even though the capital requirements for such
investment is high, the long-term economic and environmental benefits are well worth the high initial
costs.

Recycling Value Chain Analysis in eThekwini. (Knox, 2015)
The most challenging stage of the value chain is waste segregation. Because most households and
waste collection companies do not segregate their waste streams, the recycling companies must bear
extra costs and productivity losses in order to sort the waste to make it usable in the value chain.
As such, this stage of the value chain for organic waste recycling has very high potential value for
companies that exploit the niche.

Global Industry Innovations Applicable in

Ghana
Vegware
Vegware Limited is a manufacturer in plant-based compostable food service packaging headquartered

in the UK, with certification for their entire range of products. The business was established in Edinburgh
in 2006, and has operational bases in Huntington Beach, Sydney and Hong Kong, with distribution
outlets in other parts of Europe and the Middle East. They operate an extensive range of eco-friendly
catering disposables. Their products include hot and cold drink cups, takeout boxes and food containers
which are made from renewable, lower carbon or recycled materials, and can all be composted with
food waste where accepted (Vegware, 2019).
The company has started working closely with the organics recycling sector and offers a UK-wide
composting collection service for mixed packaging and food waste. After 6-12 weeks, the waste is
reprocessed into compost, or biogas and topsoil. Vegware Ltd has launched its own composting
collection service called close the Loop, picking up clients’ used Vegware and food waste to create
high-grade compost “in a matter of weeks”. They are researching to further product innovation in rapidly
evolving (new) markets of food trends, and modify specifications if need be (Vegware, 2019).
The organisation is so far successful on the UK market and has an impressive performance on other
European, US, and the Middle East markets. Its sales reached £20 million in 2017, with £25m in its
sights for 2018 while number of incoming enquiries doubled by April 2018.
With campaign against the use of especially plastics in Ghana, majority of the population are finding
alternatives that are more eco-friendly and biodegradable. Currently, there are some companies such
as Kukun in Accra that use Vegware products.
AlterWaste (Egg Shell Recycling)
Alterwaste is a recycling company headquartered in the UK. The company turns by-products into bio-
degradable materials to reduce waste, carbon foot print and plastic pollution. A new innovative business
model of Alterwaste is the replacement of plastic and other non-sustainable materials with egg shells
(Zupan Martina, 2017). Currently Alterwaste is in the process of securing funding for production and also
aiming to take the product to the market. As at the end of 2018, Alterwaste had received a total funding
of £16,365.
This is a disposable circular plate with tearaway cutlery that is made from waste eggshells. The table-
ware (Colleggtion), is made from ground egg shells and a natural binder which captures and holds it
firmly. It is further coated with a thin layer of bio plastic to prevent any liquids from food to be absorbed.
The main source of raw material emanates from industrial egg processes that are considered as the big
generators of egg shell waste (Passion for the planet, 2017).
With this compostable material from egg shells (which replaces plastics), this can be beneficial to

9
industries such as packaging, cosmetics, foodservice disposables, gardening and also construction.
One of their first products designed and produced was called Colleggtion. The key differentiating factor
for this type of product is its compostable nature due to the fact that it is made from natural components.
The tableware could decompose in 45-60 days even though all other compostable products are
decomposed within 180 days (Passion for the planet, 2017).
This innovative idea can be considered in Ghana. This is because of the sensitization project by the
Ministry of Health and the poultry sector on the consumption of eggs dubbed ‘Egg-Cite your day’’.(Abbey
Emelia Ennin & Osei-Appiah Ohenewaa, 2017). This would eventually create a lot of waste from egg
shells thereby adding to the waste problems in Ghana, a force to reckon with. It will therefore create a
lot of opportunities for start-ups in the small-scale recycling sector in Ghana.
Pride Pad
Pride Sanitary Pad was established in Ghana by the Research and Counselling Foundation for African
Migrants (RECFAM) to produce organic and biodegradable pads for women and girls who lack proper
menstrual products and education. Pride Sanitary Pads are made out of banana fibre, local cotton and
paper pulp which are fully biodegradable. The company was co-founded by Ajume Wingo (Research
and Counselling Foundation for African Migrants(RECFAM), 2018).
The Pride sanitary pad project has made some big developments in Ghana, such as establishing the
first production facility, achieving Ghana Standards Authority certification and educating 1,400 school
girls on menstrual health (Pride Pad, 2018).
Pride sanitary pad has become successful in Ghana and has prospects in the country. Currently, the
business works with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection
to distribute affordable sanitary pads and menstrual health education to schools in Ghana (Pride Pad,
2018). So far, they have given out about 7000 pads for free to school children and are yet to start
commercial sales of the product.

10
Summary and Conclusion

• Organic waste constitutes 46% of the total waste manufactured globally and has good revenue
prospects if recycled for use.
• Many waste management companies and consumer goods production business are exploring ways to
recycle organic waste in order to increase their revenue streams and explore the recycling/processing
aspect of the value chain
• Prior capital investment for this industry specifically in the processing and manufacturing aspects of
the value chain is high although the future gains financially and environmentally outweighs the current
costs.
• With the current talks in Ghana about banning plastics and reducing the its use, innovations like Vegware
and AlterWaste become important opportunities to explore to provide alternative environmentally friendly
packaging for food.
• Pride Pad provides a good alternative to non-biodegradable sanitary towels in the Ghanaian market
and also serves as a low-cost option for school girls and women from low-income backgrounds who
have limited financial access to menstrual hygiene products.
