Program

Turning Waste into Economic Opportunity   

The Waste into Resource initiative supports Bangladesh’s leather sector by turning tannery solid waste into environmentally compliant, value-added byproducts. Working with government agencies, industry associations, and small and medium enterprises, the program strengthens compliance, market linkages, and entrepreneurship, helping reduce pollution while creating business opportunities and sustainable livelihoods in the leather value chain.
