Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong from Jospong Group told reporters that African countries need to stop treating garbage like a problem and start seeing it as a cash machine that could solve youth unemployment across the continent. The executive chairman said his company is pushing into markets all over Africa with waste-to-energy tech and management systems that turn trash into power while cutting emissions, and he wants governments to back local business leaders instead of politicians when it comes to driving this stuff forward.
Agyepong claims his group already runs operations in multiple African nations where they're building circular economy models and creating jobs through scalable sanitation infrastructure. He's calling for regional cooperation to break down colonial-era barriers and let African entrepreneurs control their own economic future instead of getting exploited by outside forces.
The businessman stressed that recycling starts at the household level, but it needs solid government support and community buy-in to actually transform the continent into a clean-energy leader with sustainable growth.
