As Bangladesh embraces circular economy solutions to boost competitiveness and reduce waste in export sectors, UNDP Bangladesh, in collaboration with the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry Innovation & Research Centre (FBCCI-IRC), today launched the Green Startup Grant to support young innovators advancing circular economy solutions in plastics. Supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation (TCCF) through the UNDP-implemented Plastics Circularity Project, the initiative provides financial and technical support to early-stage startups.
The launch took place during a high-level policy dialogue on “Circular Economy and SDG for Industry and Export Growth” at the FBCCI-IRC Centre in Dhaka, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and development partners to discuss embedding circularity in plastics, textiles, and packaging to boost export competitiveness.
