Warning, even the campaign did not stop the use of banned polythene. However, more than 500 mobile courts have been conducted till July. Although polythene has been banned in supermarkets, the use of tissue bags made of harmful and banned polypropylene has increased. Users and analysts are observing that this banned product cannot be stopped because it has not been able to create an easily available alternative for a long time. Immediately after the interim government took power in August last year, Environment Advisor Syeda Rizwana Hasan made it clear that they are determined to implement the decision to ban polythene taken 23 years ago. Warnings were given of campaigns and closure of business establishments. As announced, the government also conducted raids on factories and markets. According to the Department of Environment, more than 500 mobile courts have been conducted from November last year to August 4 this year, where 71 lakh taka fines were imposed and 16 polythene factories were sealed. The drive and fines have shown some hope in supermarkets. The use of polythene has been stopped directly. However, tissue bags made of harmful and banned polypropylene like polythene are still being used in Dedaras. The top organization of the plastics sector, BPGMEA, says that to reduce the damage, the use of polythene should not be stopped like in the developed world, but emphasis should be placed on management. BPGMEA President Shamim Ahmed told Soyo Sangbad, we are going in the wrong direction. Because polythene shopping bags are not the problem. The problem is waste management. This problem will not be solved if waste management is not improved. Experts believe that research was needed before implementing the decision to stop the use of this harmful product, which mixes with people’s daily lives even if it does not mix with the soil. They are urging the government to provide easily available and suitable alternatives in the market to protect the environment. Research by various organizations says that 700 tons of plastic waste is generated every day in the capital, which is more than 10 percent of the total waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
