Trade Saving Environment
A lot of discarded plastic of different colours and transparency are collected from the garbage and sorted. The plastic are cleaned and grinded. They are then melted and made into a sort of grain and then molded into fine Tupperware, bathroom buckets and mugs. This market-driven trade goes on in Dhaka almost silently. Many modern cities across the world however have to spend a lot of money to have this recycling done so that the non-biodegradable plastic does not pollute the environment.
