A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between PRAN-RFL, the country’s leading industrial group, and Amal Foundation, a voluntary organization, to build a better future through effective waste management and waste segregation at source. Recently, the agreement was signed at the head office of Pran-RFL Group in Badda.
PRAN-RFL Group Marketing Director Kamruzzaman Kamal and Amal Foundation Director Ishrat Karim signed the MoU on behalf of their respective organizations.
According to the MoU, PRAN-RFL and Amal Foundation will work towards implementing a project titled Effective Waste Management: A Green Future through Waste Segregation.
The aim of this project is to establish a waste segregation system and make common people aware of waste segregation at source. Through which it will be possible to develop a more sustainable and environmentally friendly waste management.
Kamruzzaman Kamal, Marketing Director of PRAN-RFL Group said, We have taken up the project as part of Extended Producer Responsibility or EPR in waste management. We will work together with Amal Foundation to successfully implement this project.
He also said that segregation of waste at source is very important in waste management. Overall waste management will not be successful if waste cannot be properly segregated at source. Due to lack of awareness it is not possible to segregate waste at source in homes or shopping malls. We will work with Amal Foundation to bring qualitative change in waste management as part of our corporate social responsibility.
Ishrat Karim, director of Amal Foundation, said that the main objective of this MoU is to change the behavior of common people by training them to separate waste from the source. Moreover, in this two-year project, Amal Foundation in collaboration with Dhaka North City Corporation will conduct various activities including conducting surveys, providing bins, training waste collectors.
He further said, “We hope that Amal Foundation’s partnership with PRAN-RFL Group will open a new horizon in waste management.” We are initially working on a small scale. Hopefully we can work with PRAN-RFL Group on a larger scale in waste management in the future.
Pran-RFL Group Head of Corporate Brand Nurul Afsar along with senior officials of both organizations were present on the occasion.
