Government of Ghana - Eco-levy on imported electronic and electrical goods and tyres (Hazardous and Electronic Waste Control and Management Act 917)

This legal framework requires producers and private importers to register with Ghana's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and pay an advance eco-levy for imported electronic goods and tyres. Collected funds are used to facilitate implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the legal framework and support the formalization of informal actors as well as provide finance for the management of electrical and electronic waste and reduce the impact of e-waste on humans and the environment
