This summer, the Plastic REVolution Foundation finalized a summary report of the work that had been undertaken during its first year of existence.
When the world shut down due to the corona virus, the Foundation had just finished its second pilot study in Accra . This represented a convenient moment to review and compile data collected, and draw a number of conclusions and learnings to be shared with the outside world.
We hope that by doing this, we can foster further understanding for how a project like this may be achieved, as well as for some of the main obstacles faced. Among others, the report describes the Ghanaian context, the key components of establishing economic viability of a pyrolysis plant, and a comprehensive overview of the work that the Foundation has done – including two pilot studies.
Since the report was finished, we have continued – and will continue – to work on the issues identified and described in the report. More important than anything is to demonstrate the economic viability of this project in order to ensure scalability and replicability.
