By turning everyday waste into lasting solutions, these innovators are not only protecting the planet but also empowering consumers to play a vital role in the change.
This uplifting journey through Ghana’s circular economy shows how a small shift—starting from something as simple as a coconut shell—can ripple outward to inspire a better world.
