Waste recycling

Waste management is a dire problem not only in Bangladesh but also the whole world. Day by our consumption is increasing as well as our waste. When China halted importing waste in September 2017 the whole recycling industry came to halt. New waste management plant came overnight in Thailand and Malaysia. From this new entrepreneur made millions just from waste. There is still a void in this market as China left. So if Bangladesh entered into this market it can be very lucrative as we have the man power and talent to make a successful waste management industry. The results will be good for both the economy and environment of Bangladesh. With fewer waste our Homeland will be greener and more environment friendly.

According to 2012 data, Bangladesh generates around 22.4 million tonnes of waste per year. The most dangerous news is that the rate is speeding every day. It is projected to reach 47, 064 tonnes per day by 2025.Bangladesh manufactures, uses and discards a staggering 400 core PET bottles a year and spends $ 225 million importing, PET resins, raw materials for manufacturing them. While some of these bottles are refurbished and recycled, a troubling amount of it is discarded just after one-time use and thrown away to landfills around the country. Plastic and other waste like it are not biodegradable.So they stay in the environment polluting and making the environment toxic. This problem effects the whole population in our country. This escalating fast as most of our population is ignorent to this problem as they don't think about what their wastes does to environment. So they don't manage their wastes diligently and in the end our environment suffers.

Bangladesh's strong suit is manpower. We don't have a lack of it. And we don't have that many skilled worker. But sorting and cleaning waste to recycle is not skilled based job. We have so many people unemployed doing nothing. If they are given chance to earn a decent money they will take it. This is where recycling comes in. The industry will require a huge number of worker to sort,collect and clean waste to recycle. This in turn will give them opportunity to earn wages. In 2016 24.3% of the population lived under the poverty line. This is will be their opportunity to rise over and making a more productive population.

The service provided to the population is recycling and waste management. By 2025 we will generate 47,604 tons of waste each day. Someday has take care of it if we don't want to further damage our environment. By recycling we can not only make our environment better but also the economy will flourish. The preliminary solution is to hand sort the waste and clean them. By this alone we can export this clean waste to other countries which need raw materials . When we have good sustainable model we can start the next phase of the solution which is recycling. We already recycle iron from ships and plastics. But we have to scale up if we want grow the economy further. We have good research going on in our country in many of our University. So a homegrown technology to recycle materials will help the general populace.

Only me.
