Brands are increasingly focusing on circular products as their demand is rising globally, which is why it is imperative for Bangladesh to embrace circularity where the country can be a global leader, as per Faruque Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).
Hassan made the remarks while speaking at a virtual session on ‘Cross-country Learning Session for Business: Moving from Take-Make-Waste Economy to Circular Solutions’ recently.
He said that it was very important to develop a customised local ecosystem of circularity, tapping local manufacturers and recyclers. The capacity of manufacturers, recyclers and waste handlers also need to be developed to domestically close the loop.

“We are also looking forward to post-consumer waste recycling and we need strong collaboration from apparel brands to do so. We need more direct support from the donors and development partners in the area of circular economy. We believe together we will be able to develop the capacity of the apparel industry of Bangladesh in circularity,” Hassan added.
