  "account": "Lukman Salifu, Chief Executive Officer of Waste Care Associates, has proposed a two-bin system for household waste in Ghana. The system would separate waste into organic and inorganic categories, allowing for different treatment processes. Organic waste could be processed via biomethanation to generate biogas, while inorganic waste would be incinerated to produce energy. Salifu emphasized the ease of adoption for households, noting that nearly 60% of solid waste is organic. The public health engineering expert urged Accra to consider waste-to-energy technology and acknowledged the need for landfill facilities in conjunction with modern waste treatment methods, depending on local conditions and land availability.",
