Plastic Treasure

Recycling plastic in Dhaka (Bangladesh) is a significant environmental effort. Locals play a crucial role in collecting, separating, and selling plastic to recycling facilities, contributing to reducing plastic pollution and generating income. NGOs promote plastic recycling awareness and education, encouraging proper disposal. The government has taken steps, like banning single-use plastic bags. Challenges remain but Dhaka's commitment to addressing plastic waste's environmental impact is evident.
