Abstract

Waste management and the Circular economy
Rural household waste, women in waste management, circular economy, sustainable development, oil palm, Ghana.
To help achieve sustainable development and reduce the impact of improper waste disposal, all aspects of waste disposal must be looked at. This study explored how rural households, especially women (who processed palm fruit and extracted palm oil for household use) disposed of the solid and liquid residue that is left after the process. A qualitative approach with descriptive research design was used to collect primary data from study participants. Purposive sampling was used to select 20 participants (women) for focus group discussion, whereas some women leaders of the community were also interviewed to gain in-depth knowledge on the subject matter. An observation checklist was also used as data collection tools. Data collected were analyzed systematically, by taking into consideration, the various themes of the study. Study participants indicated that the palm tree has endless value as they saw its usefulness from the fruits to the tree’s kernel. It was further revealed that whereas some residents and participants would dispose of the waste indiscriminately, several other places value on the by-product as being useful. The fiber waste was either treated to be used as fertilizers or as energy fuel for domestic activities. Though the palm kernel was mainly used for palm kernel oil for cooking and other purposes, they were sometimes hoarded and sold for money to buyers although this was seldomly done due to inadequate market for it. It was therefore recommended to the local government and other community-based organizations in the district to pay attention to investing in sustainable ways with which the waste from palm trees could be used as a resource in the circular economy. Groups and agencies are also recommended to further educate the women on other means to use the waste as this would not only transform the livelihood of the households by reducing poverty but also be employed as a conduit to prevent pollution and environmental degradation.
