A workshop on “Waste Water Reuse” was jointly organized by IFC PaCT, BGMEA and TTBC at a city hotel on 31 May.
BGMEA President Md. Siddiqur Rahman attended the workshop as Chief Guest where IFC’s Country Manager to Bangladesh Wendy J Werner and IFC’s Global Water Lead Mohan Seneviratne were also present.
Experts on environment and water technology discussed on feasibility of waste water reuse in the RMG and Textile subsectors. Technology providers from Japan, India, and Italy presented their latest technology for effluent treatment and waste water reuse.
In his address the BGMEA President said, “To pursue a higher growth we need to think differently. We need alternate ways to optimize water resource utilization”. Extending his thanks to IFC for taking the initiative to promote waste water reuse in the RMG industry, he said, “While we are trying our best to reduce the water consumption in the manufacturing process, the responsibility of all the parties involved in the supply chain is also important.”
