UN & BIMSTEC to Collaborate with GoB to Tackle Plastic Pollution
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Bangladesh Leads the Charge Against Plastic Pollution. High-level dialogue brings together
policy-makers, innovators, and youth to accelerate solutions for sustainable plastic
management
In a decisive move to confront the escalating plastic pollution crisis, the Department of
Environment (DoE) of Bangladesh, in partnership with UNOPS and BIMSTEC, convenes a high-level
seminar titled “Accelerating Solutions for Plastic Pollution in Bangladesh”. The event, held
today at the Department of Environment’s Conference Room in Dhaka, is aligned with the 2025
World Environment Day theme and brings together government leaders, private sector champions,
youth activists, and international stakeholders.
The session was formally inaugurated by Sudhir Muralidharan, Country Manager of UNOPS for
Bangladesh and Bhutan. It was addressed by Md. Obaidur Rahman, Secretary of the Ministry of
Industries; H.E. Indra Mani Pandey, BIMSTEC Secretary General; and was chaired by Dr. Md.
Kamruzzaman, NDC, Director General of the Department of Environment.
With over 87,000 tons of plastic waste entering Bangladesh’s marine ecosystems annually, the
country faces an urgent imperative to reimagine its waste management trajectory. The roundtable
reinforces Bangladesh’s commitment to its National Action Plan for Sustainable Plastic
Management (2020–2030), which aims to reduce plastic waste by 30%, recycle 50%, and eliminate
90% of targeted single-use plastics by 2026.
Panel discussions explored innovative financing mechanisms and behavioral change strategies.
Further insights were shared on national policy implementation and petrochemical industry
innovation and Media as a Catalyst for Public Awareness on Plastic Pollution.
Among the anticipated outcomes are a Joint Communiqué, and the identification of pilot
initiatives to accelerate cross-border collaboration on marine plastic pollution. The event also aims
to foster public-private partnerships, catalyze green financing, and promote technological
innovation to enable a circular economy.
“Plastic pollution is a shared global and regional threat, demanding shared solutions.
BIMSTEC stands ready to deepen regional cooperation to achieve a plastic-smart Bay of
Bengal region.”
—H.E. Mr. Indra Mani Pandey, Secretary-General, BIMSTEC

“We must embed sustainability into every level of industrial development. This
seminar is an important step toward aligning environmental responsibility with
industrial transformation.”
—Mr. Md. Obaidur Rahman, Secretary of the Ministry of Industries;
“The Department of Environment is committed to operationalizing our plastic
action plan through innovation, accountability, and inclusive collaboration across
sectors and borders.”
— Dr. Md. Kamruzzaman ndc, Director General, Department of Environment
“Plastic pollution is not just an environmental issue—it is an infrastructure and
behavioral challenge that demands bold, collective action. UNOPS is committed
to supporting Bangladesh through scalable solutions and regional partnerships to
turn ambitious targets into measurable impact.”
— Sudhir Muralidharan, Country Manager, UNOPS Bangladesh and Bhutan
As plastic pollution continues to threaten ecosystems, economies, and public health, Bangladesh’s
leadership—coupled with regional synergy through UN & BIMSTEC—signals a new era of
coordinated, future-focused environmental governance.
