Dr Ebenezer Laryea is a Reader (Professor) in Law at Aston University and Project Director of LeatherTrace Bangladesh, a pioneering initiative developing and piloting a digital e-traceability system to help Bangladesh’s tannery sector meet international environmental and social compliance standards across global value chains. He also leads the Fresh Produce Impact Hub (FRESHPPACT), a research and development programme delivering practical solutions to plastic pollution within Ghana’s fresh-produce manufacturing and supply chains.
His research centres on Sustainability and Sustainable Development Law - spanning human rights, climate justice, social impact, net zero, and decarbonisation - where he has produced several research and knowledge exchange outputs.
His most recent work is a national policy report that sets out a practical blueprint for Ghana’s transition from conventional plastic products to plastic alternatives and non-plastic substitutes, advancing sustainable industrial practice and trade in sustainable alternatives.
