Bangladesh is struggling with a significant amount of single-use plastic waste being discarded annually, leading to environmental degradation and harm to ecosystems. To address this issue, the NGO BRAC has launched a project to recycle single-use plastic waste into raw materials for plastic products in Ecologically Critical Areas, aiming to create a market for the recycled materials and promote entrepreneurship in managing plastic waste. The success of this project has prompted plans to replicate it nationwide, while the government has also implemented measures to limit single-use plastic use and promote biodegradable alternatives to protect the environment, especially in popular tourist destinations like the Sundarbans and Cox's Bazar.
