Textile giant Bangladesh pushed to recycle more waste

Quick Summary:

As global demand for recycling in the fashion industry grows, textile hub Bangladesh is pushed to rethink how it handles waste.

For example, India recycles or reuses about 4.7 million tons, or about 60 per cent, of its textile waste, according to a report by Fashion for Good, a coalition of businesses and non-profits.

A small share of the waste sorted in workshops like Begum’s is sent to about two dozen recycling factories in Bangladesh.
