A great initiative by the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo (KEEA) Assembly in partnership with a Netherlands company, has brought into fruition a recycling plant that has the propensity of providing 3,500 jobs.
The plant, to be sited at Aburansa just within the KEEA vicinity, will ensure that all plastic or rubber containers are collected and sent to the plant for recycling purposes.
The Netherlands partnership company by name Ganda has already exchanged six visits with the KEEA executives, who helped cook the deal. Ganda is to fund the project almost single-handedly.
The project, thought to be the brain child of the Central regional Minister, Nana Ato Arthur who happens to be the immediate past KEEA boss, should mop up the mass of the unemployed within the area.
Present KEEA District Chief executive Mr. John Frank Asmah has said, the plant machines will be fixed in May next year, while the factory is expected to be in operation between June and July 2008.
But even before that, the KEEA appears to have given employment to a great number of people who go on and about, collecting waste plastics which otherwise would have posed a big environmental mess to society.
The collectors then stash them into big bags which they send to the Assembly, where it is weighed and monies paid for their troubles.
