Unilever holds session on ‘plastic sustainability’

Unilever Bangladesh Ltd recently organised a special session styled "Navigating the Path to Plastic Sustainability with Zaved Akhtar" at its corporate office in Dhaka as part of their World Environment Day 2023 campaign.

Zaved Akhtar, CEO and managing director of the company, led the session attended by university students from different institutions across Bangladesh representing various environmental clubs, said a press release.

The session provided valuable learning outcomes for the attendees in the light of the World Environment Day campaign and highlighted the important role students can play in advocating for a clean environment.

Following the session, Zaved Akhtar participated in a question-and-answer session, providing students with a unique opportunity to directly engage with him and deepen their understanding of plastic sustainability.

"Our journey towards plastic sustainability is guided by Unilever's global framework -- less plastic, better plastic and no plastic," said Akhtar.

"In our project in Chattogram, our awareness campaigns have reached over 1,000,000 individuals and positively impacted the lives of more than 2,000 waste workers."

"We have collected over 8,000 tonnes of plastic waste since 2022, ensuring 100 per cent recycling," he added.
