The order followed a meeting on upgrading the environmental compliance of tanneries in Savar, the central effluent treatment plant (CETP) there and solid waste management to the standards of the Leather Working Group (LWG), a global multi-stakeholder community committed to building a sustainable future with responsible leather, Bangladesh media outlets reported.
Upgrading of the CETP in Savar Tannery Estate is quite essential for global compliance, Hossain emphasised.
Both the public sector and private sector have an important role to create this environment, he said.
The chairman of Bangladesh Small Cottage and Industries (BSCIC), and representatives from tannery owners and leather goods manufacturers participated in the meeting.
