Project Brief:

The project entitled "Sustainable Capacity building to reduce Irreversible Pollution by Plastics-shortly SCIP Plastics Project" is a collaborative research between Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), Khulna, Bangladesh and Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (BUW), Germany. The overall objective of this project is the long-term establishment of a knowledge transfer hub on the campus of KUET for land-based reduction and prevention of marine plastic waste in the Bay of Bengal. In this hub, competencies in the fields of activity of plastic prevention, substitution and circular economy will be trained and bundled, sustainable guidelines will be developed and policy advice will be offered. This project is the Grant Programme against marine litter funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection, Germany. Within the framework of the consortium, BUW is responsible for the overall coordination of the project. The Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE) is accompanying involved. In particular, all participatory processes in the working groups i.e. in the integration of the informal sector, are supported by ISOE in terms of technical content and are to be understood as interactive, adapted processes. The political partners in Bangladesh are Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh; University Grants Commission of Bangladesh; Mayor's office Khulna City Corporation; Mayor's office of Mongla Port Pourashava and Nirala Janokallan Samity at Ward no. 24. While additional acting partner in Bangladesh is the Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET). The duration of the project is from 1st April 2022 to 30 November 2024.
