🌍 Waste Is Not Waste: Dr. Asante Champions Ghana’s Circular Economy Vision

Dr. Kwaku Onwona-Hwesofour Asante, a Research Scientist at CSIR–Crops Research Institute and a Principal Investigator for the Agroecology and Circular Economy for Ecosystem Services (ACE4ES) project, is urging Ghanaians to see waste as a valuable resource rather than a nuisance. 

Speaking at a workshop in Accra aimed at training journalists on climate and sustainability reporting, Dr. Asante emphasized that “waste is a major resource we often overlook.” The event formed part of the ACE4ES project, which promotes agroecological practices and circular economy models to enhance agricultural productivity while protecting the environment. Through the ACE4ES initiative and CSIR’s Multicultural Technology Park, researchers are converting waste into useful products such as biochar, briquettes, compost, organic fertilizers, and black soldier fly protein. Dr. Asante noted that such innovations reduce pollution, create jobs, and support climate resilience. He believes Ghana’s shift toward circular economy practices can turn environmental challenges into opportunities for sustainable development.
