Studies on Ghana’s solid waste value chain have focused on plastic waste and e-waste with little emphasis on the coconut waste value chain as a potential for sustainable growth. This paper, therefore, focused on exploring the coconut waste value chain in Ghana and its potential to contribute to achieving a circular economy and local economic development. Using both qualitative and qualitative research methods, the study seeks to understand the coconut waste value chain in Ghana and examine its potential to achieve a circular economy and local economic development. It was found that the coconut waste value chain in Ghana has the potential to contribute to achieving a circular economy and provide local economic development at various phases within the value chain despite existing challenges. The paper recommends the enforcement of regulatory frameworks for sustainable coconut waste collection and transportation. It advocates for a strong partnership between local authorities and private entities to promote investment, innovation, and technology for recycling coconut waste. This will ensure the development of a viable and effective coconut waste value chain towards a circular economy. |
