Bauhaus-Universität Weimar leads plastic waste project in Nepal and Bangladesh

The German Federal Ministry for the Environment is providing approximately 5.26 million euros to support ‘Blue Prism’, an international research project aimed at combating plastic waste in Nepal and Bangladesh.

Led by Eckhard Kraft, a professor of resource economics at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the initiative seeks to bolster local circular economies in both Nepal and Bangladesh. The ultimate goal of the project is to reduce the amount of plastic waste entering rivers and oceans.
