Unregulated jhut business fuels RMG unrest: Industry professionals

The garment waste (jhut) business has fuelled labour unrest in the ready-made garment sector as the informal business involves a lot of political and economic influence, according to industry experts, entrepreneurs, and development partners.
Proper regulatory policies could resolve the unrest, promote waste circularity, and create millions of jobs in recycling, while reducing Bangladesh reliance on imports, they noted.
These observations were shared at a roundtable titled "Switch to Upstream Circularity: Path Towards Circularity in Bangladesh RMG Industry," held today (12 November) at InterContinental Dhaka.
