Plastic Tide Along Buriganga River
An aerial view shows an informal plastic waste recycling zone lining the banks of the Buriganga River in the Sadarghat area of Dhaka, Bangladesh, on February 5, 2026. Vast quantities of collected plastic are sorted and processed in densely packed yards, while unrecyclable waste is frequently discarded into the river. Mounting pressure from urban and industrial refuse severely pollutes and narrows the waterway, threatening the ecosystem, public health, and the livelihoods of communities dependent on the river.
