completed

The project will enhance the long-term competitiveness and sustainability of the textile wet processing sector in Bangladesh by focusing on water, energy and chemical use (water-energy-chemical nexus) to support an integrated approach to resource efficiency. The project is also expected to provide a demonstration effect on successful water efficiency interventions within the industry. The project includes three main components 1. Harmonization of procurement guidelines for apparel buyers; 2. Engagement with textile factories to raise awareness on the adoption of cleaner production (CP) measures, and water and resource efficient technologies; 3. Development of the necessary enabling environment for resource efficient textile production through stakeholder alignment and public-private dialogue.
