Onua TV will host a "Bye Bye Styrofoam" eco-packaging exhibition at the TV3 Executive Theatre in Kanda, Accra, on Friday, November 20, 2026, to connect businesses and consumers with biodegradable packaging alternatives.

The promo bills it as the "Beyond Styrofoam Thought Leadership Forum" and carries the logos of the Onua Foundation and the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

Onua TV: Bye Bye Styrofoam

The exhibition supports a nationwide transition led by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), which is enforcing a directive from President John Dramani Mahama to phase out the manufacture, importation and use of expanded polystyrene food packs across the country by January 2027.

EPA Chief Executive Officer Professor Nana Ama Browne Klutse has led zonal sensitisation tours across Accra in July, Kumasi and the Ashanti Region in August, and the five northern regions in late October to ensure traders and manufacturers adopt biodegradable options before the deadline.
