Switch to Circular Economy Value Chains project inaugurated
With a series of events, UNIDO together with national and international partners marked the official inception of the SWITCH to Circular Economy Value Chains (SWITCH2CE) Project in Bangladesh to steer the textiles and garments sector toward sustainable circular practices.
In the backdrop of Bangladesh remarkable economic growth, positioning it as the world second-largest garment exporter and a significant GDP contributor, environmental concerns associated with textile waste have emerged as a critical challenge.
Addressing this, the global SWITCH2CE project, co-funded by the European Union and the Government of Finland, is poised to pioneer circular strategies across textiles, plastic packaging, and ICT & Electronics value chains.
