The facility will deploy Hydroxy System's patented pyrolysis technology to convert plastic waste into premium-grade petrol, diesel, kerosene and activated carbon.

Mr Michael Kpakpo Allotey, the Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive, in a speech during the event, said the facility was a practical solution to Accra's plastic menace.
He said it would help divert thousands of tonnes of low-value plastics from drains and landfills, cut open burning, and turn waste into useful oil and gas.

Mr Allotey said: "Beyond the environmental gains, the plant will create jobs across collection, sorting, and operations, strengthen our sanitation efforts, and give the city a reliable end-market for sachets and films that recyclers cannot use.

"This is about cleaner neighbourhoods, flood prevention, and a circular economy that works for our people."
He pointed out that the MoU aligned with the Assembly's efforts to improve sanitation, reduce the environmental burden of plastics, and stimulate green jobs through private-sector participation.

The Chief Executive said the initiative would create about 1500 direct and indirect jobs for the people of Accra and beyond.

Mr Alfred Allotey-Gaisie, the Korle Klottey Municipal Chief Executive who was present at the signing emphasised that the initiative was great and will help keep the city clean.
He encouraged other assemblies to adopt this initiative to help keep the country clean.

Mr Kelvin Boateng, the Chief Executive Officer of Intellivision Technologies Limited stated that the agreement was intended to "ignite a movement" that places innovation at the centre of Accra's waste management.
He said the company's strategy focused on the circular economy and described the project as a pathway to a cleaner, healthier and more prosperous future for residents.

Mr Boateng said the plant was expected to create jobs and unlock new economic opportunities, adding that, "A clean city underpins dignity, social well-being and economic strength.
He said the partnership with the AMA demonstrated how collaboration could ensure that "nothing is wasted, and everything has value."

He characterised the project as a model for Ghana and the wider African continent, emphasising that plastic waste should not be viewed as the end of a product's life cycle but as raw material for new value.
He gave the assurance that the initiative was only the beginning of a longer-term drive to scale resource recovery solutions.

Mr Solomon Noi, Head of Waste Management at the AMA, said though there were some people who manage plastic waste, they do it in small quantities and described the initiative as a great one.

Present at the occasion were the Presiding Member of the AMA, Mr Musah Ziya; the Metro Coordinating Director, Mr. Douglas N.K. Annoful; the General Manager of Intellivision Technologies Limited, Madam Jacqueline Asante and other dignitaries.
