This positions technologically advanced print providers at the centre of this expanding market, enabling them to capture greater share of both advertising expenditure and commercial printing demand.

Ghana produces an estimated 1.1 million tonnes of plastic waste annually.

The centre will provide laboratory testing and technical services to support textile sorting and classification.

The initiative aims to help Ghan boost its waste recycling and mitigate greenhouse emmissions.
