Global EarthTribe, a leading environmental advocacy organisation, together with its initiative 'Paper Over Plastic', has commended the Government of Ghana for its landmark decision to ban the use of Styrofoam products nationwide.
This decisive action demonstrates Ghana’s growing commitment to combating environmental pollution and advancing a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Styrofoam has long been a major contributor to blocked drainage systems, marine pollution, and persistent waste accumulation within the country’s ecosystems. Its ban represents a significant step forward in protecting both the environment and public health.
As a body dedicated to promoting sustainability and environmental education, Global EarthTribe, through its 'Paper Over Plastic' initiative, has pledged its full support for the government’s timely intervention.
The organisation stands ready to assist the transition by providing eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives and working in partnership with government agencies, businesses, and communities to develop sustainable packaging solutions.
Global EarthTribe also calls on stakeholders across both public and private sectors to embrace this positive change and invest in innovative, green alternatives.
The organisation reaffirms its commitment to community outreach, educational campaigns, and sustainable product development, ensuring the successful implementation of the new policy and fostering lasting environmental consciousness throughout the country.
