Around 67 Bangladesh factories obtain LEED certification

In Bangladesh, 67 green garment factories have already obtained LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC) and over 300 more are waiting to be certified. The garment sector's strong green initiative was noticed in the survey of the Partnership for a Cleaner Textile (PaCT) of the International Finance Corporation. Local suppliers are also contributing by saving water, energy and environment.

Around 250 textile factories in Bangladesh have invested $39 million to save 21 billion liters of water a year. Currently, 1,700 factories run effluent treatment plants (ETPs) in their factories to save the environment. Although the factory managements of these units regularly report to the Department of Environment (DoE), they need to improve the performance of the ETPs. The DoE will start monitoring the operations of these ETPs online in 500 factories to obtain better results from the plants.
