Dhaka generates over 10,000 tons of laminated plastic waste annually, posing health and environmental risks. ESDO conducted a study focused on laminated materials like posters and stickers in the city. Findings revealed 7,145.2 tons of waste in 2019, projected to reach 10,438 tons in 2020. As non-recyclable plastics threaten public health and the environment, ESDO urged immediate preventive measures. They asked authorities and exhibitors, including the Bangla Academy, to halt plastic laminated materials at events like the Amar Ekushey Bookfair. ESDO's press briefing involved notable figures, emphasizing the need for action.
