Fifteen professionals from Ghanaian plastic packaging and recycling companies were educated on new plastic technologies, recycling, and sustainability at Menshen. Dr. Klaus Skrodolies, Head of Innovation Management at Menshen, explained opportunities and challenges when using recyclates of different types as well as Menshen's solutions for the planned EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) during the plant tour in Finnentrop.

Ghana, located in West Africa, is currently facing a waste problem that requires attention to detail. As a result, Ghanaian plastic (packaging) producing companies and recycling companies are actively seeking innovative solutions and establishing new contacts to establish a circular economy.

This approach aims to reduce waste and pollution by promoting the sustainable use of resources. The Ghana Business Delegation tour highlighted circular economy goals that align with global sustainable development goals and demonstrate commitment to creating a cleaner, healthier environment for citizens.
