Abstract
This research investigates waste disposal practices in the Ghanaian printing industry with a specific emphasis on adopting environmentally sustainable approaches. Four (4) prominent printing presses in Ghana were selected as case studies to examine their waste management strategies. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative statistical data on waste generation and disposal rates with qualitative insights gathered through direct interviews, observation and site visits. The finding revealed the current state of waste disposal in the selected printing presses and highlight existing challenges. Additionally, the research identifies innovative waste disposal practices that contribute to greener printing operations. Factors influencing the adoption of these innovations were explored, including regulatory compliance, economic considerations, and environmental awareness. The study highlighted the importance of transitioning towards greener printing practices to mitigate environmental impact. Recommendations are provided for stakeholders in the printing industry, regulatory bodies, and policymakers to promote sustainable waste management practices. Ghanaian printing presses specifically industrial types must understand and implement these innovations that contribute to both environmental conservation and long-term business sustainability.
