The streets of Khulna city are covered with single-use plastic waste. On the occasion of World Cleanup Day 2022, Environment and Social Development Organization – ESDO jointly with Khulna University conducted a day-long Brand Audit at Khulna University premises and its surrounding area to reveal the mask of the corporates who are responsible for harming our environment.
This audit also marks the beginning of the negotiations for the world’s first Global Plastic Treaty, a legally binding international law aimed at reducing plastic pollution worldwide, covering the full life cycle of plastic. This is a historic step forward in the fight against plastic pollution, but there is still a long road ahead as the negotiations continue throughout the end of 2024.
ESDO organized the Brand Audit for the 5th time in association with Plastic Solutions Fund and Break Free from Plastic.
Around 100 students of Khulna University joined together and conducted the brand audit. The audit was monitored and supervised by university faculty members and the ESDO.
