Business News of Monday, 16 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is stepping up to tackle the growing mess from imported used clothing, popularly called "Obroni wawu" in Ghana. On Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily show on Monday, March 16, 2026, Larry Kotoe, the EPA’s Head of Sustainability and Circular Economy, shared details about the new approach. “We are currently at the drafting stage, where we will be handing over the technical tracker, as we call it, to the Attorney General’s Department. With millions of used garments arriving weekly (many unsellable), the EPA hopes this framework brings more fairness and sustainability to a trade that supports livelihoods but also creates high environmental costs. The draft heads to the Attorney General soon, with Parliament eyed for June 2026.
