ACARP
Accra Compost and Recycling Plant
Municipal solid-waste processing infrastructure with an approved capacity of 1,200 tonnes per day.
Municipal solid waste
Transforming Waste into Value
Transforming waste streams into useful resources through recovery, recycling, biological treatment and modern processing infrastructure.
Processing / Circular Economy
Keeping resources in productive circulation.
A connected processing network advancing the transition from conventional waste disposal to resource recovery.
The Processing / Circular Economy sector brings together material recovery, recycling, biological treatment and modern waste-processing infrastructure.
Across municipal solid waste, liquid waste and specialised streams, its purpose is clear: recover viable materials, transform them and return them to productive use.
Circular value chain
From waste stream to productive value.
Recovery connects waste management to a new cycle of material use—moving viable resources beyond disposal and back into production.
- 01
Recover
Waste streams and recyclable materials enter appropriate recovery and treatment systems.
- 02
Process
Materials are sorted, recycled, composted or converted using appropriate processing technologies.
- 03
Transform
Recovered material becomes useful products and secondary raw materials.
- 04
Return to value
Outputs such as compost, RDF, paper, PET and pelletized plastics re-enter productive use.
Processing infrastructure
An industrial network for distinct waste streams.
Major facilities combine municipal solid-waste processing, regional recycling and composting, and liquid-waste treatment.

Processing capabilities
Technology matched to the material.
Material recovery and recycling
Sorting and recovery systems direct recyclable materials toward productive reuse.
Composting and biological treatment
Organic waste streams are processed into compost and liquid fertiliser outputs.
Specialised waste treatment
Liquid- and medical-waste treatment infrastructure supports appropriate handling of distinct waste streams.
Transfer and disposal infrastructure
Waste transfer infrastructure and landfill technologies complete the wider processing network.
Sustainability contribution
Progress beyond conventional disposal.
Resource recovery, recycling and composting help keep viable materials in use while supporting climate adaptation and mitigation.
