Since 2020, Unilever Bangladesh has been working to develop an innovative and scalable model for plastic waste management. In 2022, we partnered with the Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) and Young Power in Social Action (YPSA) to launch the country's largest public-private plastic waste management initiative. As a result of this collaboration, since 2023, we have been collecting and processing more plastic than we use in our packaging-marking a significant milestone in our journey toward ending plastic pollution.
In partnership with BopInc, we have pioneered a retail refill technology, Urefill - a solution designed for Bangladesh's 2 million small retail outlets. This technology was piloted in wet market shops located throughout Dhaka city. Through this breakthrough innovation, we are empowering consumers to refill and reuse, providing them with convenience and minimising product wastage.
At Unilever Bangladesh, we are guided by a singular purpose - brightening everyday life for all. By tackling plastic pollution and improving the livelihoods of those in our value chain, we ensure that we are not only taking care of the environment but also the people that form the backbone of our operations.
