Managing thin polythene and plastic waste is the first of its kind in Bangladesh. This small start has created momentum for significant changes in managing thin polythene and plastic. Thin polythene and single-use plastics are often dumped into the environment, causing deadly harm to aquatic life and, ultimately, to humans worldwide. Practical Action has initiated this move in Bangladesh, which we believe will bring significant change across the country and beyond.

আমাদের সম্পর্কে
We are an international development organisation putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world. We help people find solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. Challenges made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality. We work with communities to develop ingenious, lasting and locally owned solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience and clean energy. And we share what works with others, so answers that start small can grow big. We’re a global change-making group of problem solvers, knowledge mobilisers and expert advisors. We work together to multiply our impact and help shape a world that works better for everyone. The group consists of a UK registered charity with community projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America, an independent development publishing company and a technical consulting service. We believe in the power of small to change the big picture. And that together we can take practical action to build futures free from poverty.

🎉 On June 10th, we celebrated a major milestone in Bangladesh's journey towards a greener future! The brand-new Faridpur Plastic Pyrolysis Plant is now officially open! This innovative plant treats 360kg of single-use plastic daily, transforming waste into valuable energy. With the incredible support of Practical Action, Faridpur Municipality, RiverRecycle, Society Development Committee - SDC, and the Danida Green Business Partnerships / Danida Market Development Partnerships, this initiative not only tackles plastic pollution but also creates jobs and reduces fossil fuel consumption. We were honored to have Amitave Bose, Mayor of Faridpur Municipality, chair the event and Ali Mushtaq Butt, Commercial Counsellor and Head of Trade Mission & Sustainable Infrastructure Finance at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, as our chief guest. Special guests included Dr. Zaki Uz Zaman, Country Representative of UNIDO, Uttam Kumar Saha, Country Manager of Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP), and Ayan Banerjee, Asia Regional Director of Practical Action. The event featured the opening of the plant, a tour, a youth cycle rally around the city, and a seminar. 🚴♂️ Here's to a greener, cleaner future for Bangladesh! #pyrolysis #DMDP

For too long, commitments to addressing the climate crisis have gone undelivered, with targets missed and promises broken. The new GOAL to be agreed at COP29 Azerbaijan must lead directly to decisive action, says Tamanna from Practical Action in Bangladesh. Z Zurich Foundation Practical Action

On May 26, 2024, Severe Cyclonic Storm ‘Remal’ made a landfall, crossing the Khepupara area in Patuakhali district, Bangladesh, boasting a peak wind speed of 111 km/h. The cyclone, coupled with intense rainfall, led to flooding ranging from 1.5 to 2.4 meters and a 2.2 meters storm surge in the coastal areas. Meteorologists and experts have observed a pattern emerging in the cyclones affecting Bangladesh. These cyclones are characterized by being slow-moving, enduring for extended periods, and causing flood and inundation over larger areas. Remal’s speed was 21% slower than the previous cyclones with an extended duration of 45 hours. Tidal water inundated the Sundarbans for over 30 hours, affecting freshwater ponds and threatening wildlife. Approximately 61 kilometers of embankments in Khulna, Satkhira, and Bagerhat were damaged, causing property losses for fish farmers worth Tk 9000 million. Additionally, incessant rainfall on May 27 flooded areas of Dhaka and Chattogram, disrupting daily activities. According to the latest report from the Needs Assessment Working Group (NAWG), around 3.8 million individuals were affected by the cyclone, with approximately 1,50,000 houses sustaining partial or complete damage. Coastal flooding and embankment breaches left 27 million residents in Khulna and Barisal divisions without electricity. A robust preparedness and effective #EarlyWarningSystem (EWS) successfully mobilized 8,07,023 individuals from 19 districts to evacuate to 9,424 shelters. Timely alerts were disseminated through the Disaster Alert for BD app (developed and launched by the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief -MoDMR in collaboration with Practical Action), reaching 75,000 households across Bangladesh. Additionally, Practical Action disseminated early warning voice messages and advisories reaching 3000 Cyclone Preparedness Programme (CPP) volunteers. Thanks to the dedicated volunteers, the frontliners on the ground, the development, humanitarian organizations, as well as government entities, for their effective actions prior to, during, and after the disaster. However, as the Earth's temperature rises and climate change-induced hazards become more frequent and severe, it is time to mobilize substantial resources and support that truly addresses the pressing needs of the most vulnerable.
