The Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Mr. Samson Ahi, has toured the facilities of Recyclers Ghana Ltd. in Shai Hills as part of the Ministry’s efforts to engage with stakeholders in the industrial and export sector.
The visit aimed to understand the company’s operations, identify challenges, and explore ways the government could support local manufacturers.
During the tour, the company’s manager, Mr. Manesh Kumar Jangir, outlined Recyclers Ghana Ltd.’s operations and growth since its establishment in 2019. He explained that the company produces refined lead, plastic chips, granules, and customized aluminum alloys for export to Europe, Turkey, Asia, and the United States.
He noted that the company also supplies specialized aluminum alloys to global manufacturers, including Japan’s Toyota Motor Corporation.
Adding that, with a recycling capacity of over 28,000 metric Tonnes, the firm contributes to Ghana’s export earnings and industrial development.
Mr. Jangir raised concerns about the difficulty in sourcing scrap aluminum due to competition from raw scrap metal exporters. This shortage has hindered the company’s ability to operate at full capacity. He appealed for government intervention to ensure local recyclers have consistent access to raw materials.
After inspecting the lead, plastic, and aluminum recycling lines, the Deputy Minister lauded the company’s commitment to sustainable industrial practices and the circular economy.
He highlighted the importance of such businesses in creating jobs and supporting economic stability, noting that expanding operations could help reduce youth unemployment and curb emigration trends. He also recognized the company’s role in earning foreign exchange, which helps stabilize the cedi.
Before departing, Mr. Ahi joined the company’s management in a tree-planting exercise, reinforcing the government’s environmental sustainability campaign. The management thanked the Deputy Minister for the visit, seeing it as a positive step toward stronger collaboration between industry and government.
