New initiative to reuse Bangladesh's textile waste
Published 12 Feb,2021 via The Financial Express - More than 40 global apparel brands, local manufacturers and recyclers have joined a new initiative to capture and reuse textile waste in Bangladesh, sources said.
The initiative is focusing on Bangladesh as it arguably possesses the most in-demand and recyclable waste of any garment-producing country, but the majority of its waste is currently being exported or down-cycled, they added.
According to them, there is an ample opportunity to make it a leader in circularity by scaling the recycling capacity in the country and generating more value from these waste streams.
