dc.description.abstractEnvironmental waste sustainability is a challenge in Africa, and specifically in Ghana. The absence of adequate facilities and infrastructure for sustainable waste management in metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana has led to negative and unsupervised environmental impacts of all types. This study aims to assess the organic waste generated and the ecological impacts of organic fertilizer and energy production for the Ashaiman community, Ghana. The analysis of this research focuses on how the organic waste collected in this location is treated in an anaerobic digester to produce organic fertilizer, wastewater irrigation, and biogas for electricity purposes, contributing to this community’s socioeconomic benefit. Safi Sana company role in the community is presented as an example. The production of waste generated in the community leads to better development for a clean and sustainable environment. This alternative is as an acceptable way to face the challenges associated with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 of the UN 2030 Agenda and its interconnections among the other SDGs.pt_PT
