Plastic waste turns into tiles first time in Bangladesh

A small entrepreneur in Kamrangichar area in Dhaka has made cost effective pavement tiles for the first time in Bangladesh by recycling alarmingly increased plastic waste, one of the factors of environmental degradation.
"I have already produced 1000 pieces of tiles by recycling plastic waste ... I am very optimistic that this tiles will be commercially viable as it is cost effective and durable compare to the ceramic tiles," Nazir Hossain, who turned the plastic waste into assets, told BSS today.
The plastic tile was formally launched today by displaying at the "Poribesh Mela (environment fair) 2023" marking today World Environment Day under the theme of solution to plastic pollution".
This innovation seems to give a new idea to the country waste experts those are desperately looking for durable solution to manage plastic waste while nearly 650 tons of plastic waste have been collected daily only in Dhaka.
Nazir, the owner of Hossain engineering workshop in Kamrangichar area in the capital, thanked a local non-government organization named Resource Integration Center (RIC) that facilitated him to turn his innovation into reality.
