PROJECT BACKGROUND

Poribesh Shomoto Ring (Eco-Ring) - greening the WASH sector and environment - aims to repurpose or “upcycle" plastic waste during the production of latrine rings in order to reduce plastic pollution in nearby water bodies such as rivers, canals, and drains. It attempts to address the plastic waste issues and strengthen the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector in Bangladesh. The concept of Eco-Ring can trigger innovation among the rural community and encourage upcycling plastic waste in many other ways.
