Michael Kpakpo Allotey exchanging the agreement with Kelvin Boateng
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has signed a binding feedstock agreement with Numatter Recycling Technologies Limited to supply 100 metric tonnes of plastic waste daily to Ghana’s first industrial-scale pyrolysis plant, moving the project from concept to construction.
The deal provides the waste volume certainty needed to build the facility, which was first announced in September 2025 under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Unlike an MoU, the feedstock agreement creates legal supply commitments and processing guarantees that officials say are required for financing and long-term operations.
Under the agreement, AMA will channel post-collection plastic waste from across Accra to the plant, while Numatter will process the waste into petrol, diesel, kerosene and activated carbon using Hydroxy Systems’ patented pyrolysis technology.
Accra Mayor, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, described the agreement as a significant step towards repositioning plastic waste from an environmental burden into a strategic economic resource capable of supporting jobs and cleaner communities.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Numatter, Kelvin Boateng, called it “the point at which ambition becomes infrastructure.”
The plant will target hard-to-recycle plastics like sachets and multilayer films that often clog drains and contribute to urban flooding in Accra.
