Abstract:
The concept of a circular economy (CE) signifies transformation. The transformation is from
a traditional take-make-dispose to a reduce-reuse-recycle model. This model emphasizes
resource efficiency and waste reduction. We can see countries like Europe and North America
making substantial advancements in adopting circular principles. However, Bangladesh
remains predominantly linear, with minimal recycling and high waste levels. This study
explores integrating CE practices across major Bangladeshi companies in various sectors. The
primary aim is to identify current trends, industry-specific challenges, and opportunities.
This research combines a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data analysis, and qualitative
interviews with industry leaders in the electronics, construction, textiles, and textile industries.
Companies such as Walton, SMEC, DBL, and Beximco are examined to assess the extent and
effectiveness of CE adoption within their operations.
