Problem 1: No tracking mechanism in plastic recycling value chain. Solution 1: App based digital tracking and monitoring system for plastic recycling value chain. [For the first time in Bangladesh, this innovative app will deliver solution at local level (Site:1 Rupsa – Pasur River System at Mongla Sub-district) which is scalable to the national level providing significant contribution to circular plastic economy.]

Problem 2: No formal recognition and poor socio-economic condition of plastic waste pickers; especially women. Solution: 2.a) Digital registration system and identification card for plastic waste pickers that will provide formal entitlement from recycling industry. Solution: 2.b) Digital recording and monitoring system to document and disseminate waste picker’s contribution to plastic circular economy for attaining government formal recognition and public acknowledgement. Solution: 2.c) Creating a shorter pathway to link the recycle industry and the waste pickers for sharing more profit to the bottom of plastic waste pyramid (i.e., waste pickers, sorters etc.) [For the first time in Bangladesh, the above-mentioned digital innovation and plastic recycling market solution will create better industry standard at local level (Site:1 Rupsa - Pasur River System at Mongla Sub-district) which is scalable to the national level providing significant contribution to circular plastic economy.] Problem: 3 Poor enforcement of SUP ban in Sundarbans tourist spots Solution 3: Policy advocacy and raising awareness from local to national scale with improving the Sundarbans tourism industry standards regarding all types of plastic usages.

The project focuses on improving the livelihood of smallholder livestock farmers by enabling them to participate in the carbon credit market. Through carbon credit monetization, farmers will have an additional revenue stream, promoting economic sustainability. The estimated tentative total revenue from carbon credits is subject to market fluctuations but represents a significant opportunity for rural communities. The livestock sector in Bangladesh significantly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily through methane emissions from ruminants. This project aims to reduce methane emissions by implementing community-based and household biogas plants, ensuring efficient waste management, and converting emissions into valuable carbon credits. This aligns with Bangladesh’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, where the country targets a 27.56 Mt CO₂e (6.73%) unconditional reduction and a 61.9 Mt CO₂e (15.12%) conditional reduction below the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario by 2030. The project will utilize IoT-based livestock monitoring systems, to track and measure methane emissions effectively. This innovative approach ensures accurate data collection for carbon credit validation and enhances farm productivity by improving cattle health and feed efficiency.

This project advocates horticultural plantations—cultivating fruits and commercial plants—to simultaneously uplift rural livelihoods and generate carbon credits in Bangladesh. By adopting climate-resilient crops, farmers sequester carbon in soil and biomass, which can be monetized through global carbon markets, providing supplementary income. This approach incentivizes sustainable practices, diversifies agricultural outputs, and enhances food security. Rural communities gain economic stability while reducing deforestation pressures and improving biodiversity. Aligned with national climate strategies, the initiative bridges ecological conservation and poverty alleviation, empowering farmers as key stakeholders in climate action. It offers a scalable model to harmonize agrarian productivity, environmental health, and socio-economic resilience in vulnerable regions.
