The Ghana Plastic Manufacturers Association is expected to embark on a demonstration on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.

According to them, the move aims to express their displeasure over the imposition of a five percent excise tax on all locally manufactured plastic products.

In the statement, Ebow Botwe, the President of the Association, disclosed that the demonstration will commence at Kwame Nkrumah Avenue, proceed through to Accra Technical University, and conclude at the Ministry of Finance.

Earlier in June, the association threatened to halt production for a week if its request for extensive consultation with the Ministry of Finance regarding the implementation of the five percent excise tax was not met.

They claimed that the Ministry of Finance had yet to respond to a letter requesting a meeting, sent in April 2024.
