Recently Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers & Exporters Association (BGMEA) and Bangladesh Export Oriented Garments Washing Industries Owners Association entered in to an agreement with the South Asia Enterprise Development Facility (SEDF) to help their respective members to comply with environmental norms.
The agreement will help in monitoring and providing advisory services to the members of the associations on issues of environment compliance, create a database and conduct environmental audits of washing-dyeing-finishing facilities.
Compliance officers will be trained to carry out environmental audits and conduct study to identify best effluent treatment plant solutions along with also creating an environment compliance monitoring and advisory cell, which will organise training programmes and propagate cleaner production processes.
