Buriganga’s Burden: Informal Plastic Recycling Amid Severe Pollution
A worker spreads freshly washed plastic bags across an open riverside area to dry under the sun after cleaning them in the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The recycled plastic is later melted and remanufactured, despite the environmental and health risks involved in this informal processing system. (Photo by Sony Ramany/NurPhoto)
