The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) recently organised a Training of Trainers (ToT) session at the BGMEA Complex in Dhaka, aimed to propel the industry towards circularity amidst prevailing challenges, drawing enthusiastic participation from factory representatives and academia.

Led by circular economy experts Apoorva Shankar and Ola Bakowska, in collaboration with esteemed scholars from the Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX) and a specialist from reverse resources, the session focused on embedding circularity principles within the RMG sector.

During the opening ceremony, BGMEA president Faruque Hassan emphasised the training’s pivotal role in enhancing the capacity of local industry professionals. He stressed their expertise as instrumental in steering Bangladesh’s apparel industry towards circular practices.

The ToT session was meticulously designed to furnish attendees with actionable insights and practical tools essential for navigating the transition towards circular economy practices.

This collaborative endeavour underscores a collective dedication to fostering sustainable innovation and resilience within Bangladesh’s RMG landscape.

Under the guidance of Barrister Vidiya Amrit Khan, director in charge of BGMEA Circular Economy Initiatives, this initiative aligns with the objectives of the SWITCH to Circular Economy Value Chains (SWITCH2CE) project.

The project aims to bolster micro, small, and medium-sized suppliers in embracing circular economy practices.
