Auritry Unnayan Sangstha

Bangladesh is one of the top 10 countries in the world which contributes to plastic pollution globally. A study released in February 2019 shows that a total of 821,250 tons of plastic waste were generated in urban hubs of Bangladesh a year, while some 207,685 tons were dumped in a marine environment annually. Waste plastic materials from land mostly end up in the rivers and eventually in the Bay of Bengal, contaminating water to an extreme level. Through Auritry, we are trying to address this devastating environmental issue involving plastics. We are a small not-for-profit organisation that is fighting against this plastic pollution to create a better, greener Bangladesh. Although a small team, we know that one day we will realise our vision through hard work. Nothing is impossible if you have the right intention, and team Auritry runs by this mantra. We understand that there is no second planet to escape. So, the time of change is NOW. We could be heroes; the choice is ours to make.
