Cordaid, a Dutch development organization, has launched a plastic recycling pilot project in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, as part of efforts to tackle plastic waste and generate income for local communities. The initiative focuses on collecting and processing plastic waste in the region, which hosts a large Rohingya refugee population.
The pilot aims to reduce environmental pollution and create sustainable livelihoods by involving local entrepreneurs and waste collectors. It is supported by partnerships with local organizations and aims to recycle plastic into useful products.
This project is part of broader efforts to address the environmental impact of plastic waste in Cox's Bazar, one of the world's largest refugee settlements. Cordaid emphasizes community engagement and long-term sustainability in its approach.
