Dr. Agyepong noted that the partnership aligns with Zoomlion’s broader strategy to collaborate with progressive African governments in building cleaner, healthier cities and communities. He emphasized that waste management is not just a challenge, but an opportunity—one that can fuel innovation, create jobs, and drive economic growth.
Key topics discussed included the deployment of advanced waste sorting technologies, the development of engineered landfills, and the introduction of community-based waste collection systems designed to generate employment and empower local populations.
