UPPR  Organises  Media  Tour For  Journalists 

real Plastics Products and Recycling, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC), has organized a one-day media tour for journalists in Accra.

The tour which came off on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, at its head office at Borteyman in Tema afforded the journalists a peek into the operations of the plastic company.

   

Established in the year 2013, UPPR is one of the leading producers of top-quality injection molded waste bins in the West African sub-region.

Addressing the journalists, the Head of Operations of UPPR, Mr. Philip Akoto, said the factory produces plastic chairs, bins, polythene bags among others through waste plastics.

He said his company uses plastic waste as its raw materials and transforms them into end products, stating that “every used plastic product is turned into household products.” 

According to him, UPPR also recycles waste plastics and turns them into useful items for domestic use.  

He used the opportunity to call for support from both the government and other corporate bodies to enable them to expand and help curb the plastic waste menace in the country.

“This is the reason we are doing the 1 million waste bin project, and also we do fabrication of bins and produce quality plastic products,” he said.

As part of efforts to reduce plastic waste in the country, Mr. Akoto said UPPR occasionally collaborates with institutions that see them go out and collect plastic waste.

“For example, we collaborated with Pentecost University to collect loads of plastic sachets,” he said.

He revealed that UPPR has over 500 depots in Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, and other cities across the country.
