Protesting polyethylene manufacture
- Campaign against plastic products
Description
Protesting polyethylene manufacture involves organized actions such as public demonstrations, petitions, and advocacy campaigns aimed at halting or reducing the production of polyethylene due to its environmental and health impacts. The strategy seeks to pressure manufacturers and policymakers to adopt alternative materials, improve waste management, and implement stricter regulations. By raising awareness and mobilizing public opinion, these actions aim to mitigate plastic pollution and promote sustainable production practices.
Implementation
Friends of the Earth Bangladesh has been campaigning against the production of high-density polythene since 1992. The government declared a ban on production in 1993. The campaign involved organizing seminars, distribution of leaflets, lobbying and producing press statements.
