Mahmud Hossain Opu/Dhaka TribuneThis is not the first time that measures to tackle plastic waste have been proposedThe environmental threat of plastic pollution is hardly news to residents of Bangladesh, and Dhaka in particular. Despite the several measures proposed and undertaken till date, the situation has hardly improved. Instead, over the past 15 years, the capital city has seen a whopping 468 ton increase in plastic pollution. This is not the first time that measures to tackle plastic waste have been proposed. It is high time that these projects and ideas now be implemented in a sustainable manner and at a large enough scale to tackle the widespread nature of the problem.
