At Recycle Jar Ecosystem Ltd. (RJE), we believe that sustainable development begins with responsible waste management. Our Comprehensive Waste Management Initiative is a holistic approach designed to tackle the growing challenge of waste—particularly plastic waste—by combining innovation, community engagement, and scalable environmental solutions.

A Systems-Based Approach to Waste Management

RJE’s initiative is built on the principles of the circular economy, where waste is not the end, but a resource to be recovered, reused, and reintegrated into the economy. Our model focuses on:

Waste Segregation at Source

Promoting awareness and infrastructure for households and businesses to separate waste efficiently, enabling more effective downstream recycling.

Community-Based Collection Systems

Empowering local waste collectors and micro-entrepreneurs with tools, training, and incentives to ensure inclusive participation in the waste value chain.

Digital Optimization with the WasteX App

Through our proprietary digital platform, WasteX, we digitize and streamline plastic waste management—connecting collectors, traders, and recyclers to create an efficient and transparent supply chain.

Material Recovery and Recycling

Partnering with recycling industries and establishing Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to increase the recovery rate of valuable resources from waste streams.

Environmental Education and Advocacy

Running campaigns and capacity-building programs to cultivate a culture of responsibility and sustainability among citizens, schools, and local institutions.

Focus on Plastic Pollution and SUPs

A key pillar of our initiative is the reduction of single-use plastics (SUPs). These materials, while convenient, are a major contributor to environmental degradation. RJE’s efforts are geared toward minimizing SUP leakage into ecosystems by:

• Creating alternative livelihoods through recycling entrepreneurship
• Establishing market linkages for recycled plastic products
• Working with government and corporate partners to enforce sustainable practices

Impact Areas

Currently, our work is making a significant impact in ecologically sensitive areas like the Currently, our work is making a significant impact in ecologically sensitive areas like the Sundarbans, where plastic pollution poses a grave threat to biodiversity and livelihoods. With support from global partners like UNOPS and The World Bank, RJE is scaling its efforts across Bangladesh to build a resilient, community-driven waste management ecosystem.

Join Us in Building a Cleaner Future

RJE invites stakeholders, innovators, and communities to collaborate with us in transforming waste into opportunity. Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Bangladesh.

6.1. Landfill Management

Recycle Jar Ecosystem Ltd. (RJE) is committed to transforming how landfills are managed in Bangladesh. Our Landfill Management Initiative focuses on reducing environmental hazards, improving waste recovery, and extending the lifespan of existing landfill sites through sustainable and science-based interventions.

Through strategic partnerships and community engagement, RJE introduces modern landfill practices such as waste segregation at entry points, leachate management, methane capture, and the integration of material recovery facilities (MRFs). These efforts not only minimize harmful emissions and soil contamination but also unlock new opportunities for recycling and resource recovery.

By turning unmanaged dump sites into controlled, semi-engineered landfills, RJE ensures a safer and cleaner environment for surrounding communities—laying the foundation for long-term ecological balance and urban resilience.

6.2. Zero-Waste Community Development

At Recycle Jar Ecosystem Ltd. (RJE), we envision communities where waste is no longer a problem, but a valuable resource. Our Zero-Waste Community Development Initiative empowers neighborhoods to eliminate waste through education, innovation, and grassroots action.

By promoting waste segregation at the source, encouraging reuse and composting, and connecting households with local recycling networks via digital tools like the WasteX App, RJE builds self- sustaining communities that actively reduce their environmental footprint.

This initiative transforms mindsets and habits—turning citizens into champions of sustainability.

From urban areas to ecologically sensitive regions, RJE is helping communities across Bangladesh become cleaner, greener, and truly zero-waste.
