The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Intellivision Technologies Ltd to establish a 100-tonne plastic-to-fuel pyrolysis plant in Accra.
The facility will deploy Hydroxy System’s patented pyrolysis technology to convert plastic waste into premium-grade petrol, diesel, kerosene, and activated carbon.
Speaking at the event, the Mayor of Accra, Hon Michael Kpakpo Allotey, said the facility was a practical solution to Accra’s plastic menace, since it will help divert thousands of tonnes of low-value plastics from drains and landfills, cut open burning, and turn waste into useful oil and gas.
‘’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 said.
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.
He said the initiative would create about 1500 direct and indirect jobs for the people of Accra and beyond.
