Our commitment to material innovation and industrial precision recently reached an important milestone as we completed the delivery of our high-grade rubber sheets to a national military training academy. These sheets will be deployed as ballistic rubber an essential component used in shooting ranges and defense training environments to enhance safety, durability, and operational efficiency.
In a world where plastic waste is overwhelming our oceans and landfills, every step toward sustainability matters, sometimes quite literally. At our company, we’re proud to be part of that step by recycling Olaian, the iconic surf-inspired brand from Decathlon France. These simple, everyday sandals may seem small, but their impact on the environment is significant when discarded improperly. That’s why we’ve built a responsible system that ensures these flip-flops don’t end up as waste but instead return to life in new and meaningful ways.
On December 18th 2024 morning, Dr. Steve Wong from Fukutomi Recycling Ltd and Fukutomi Green Products Inc. visited our plastic recycling factory located at Hazaribag, Dhaka. Plastic recycling has become an increasingly critical global initiative in the face of mounting environmental challenges. To explore the untapped potential and address the existing barriers in this field, Dr. Steve Wong from Fukutomi recently visited KS Rubber Industries, a prominent plastic recycling factory based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has been making efforts to address its substantial plastic pollution problem, particularly with single-use plastic bags, but the implementation of chemical recycling remains limited. The country has faced challenges due to a lack of advanced recycling technology and inadequate waste segregation systems. Although the government has implemented policies like the National 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Strategy and a ban on polythene bags, enforcement has been inconsistent. As a result, plastic bags often end up polluting rivers and oceans, with an estimated 14 million plastic bags discarded daily in Dhaka alone.
We are thrilled to announce that our startup KS Rubber Industries has been selected as a finalist in the Global Startup Awards for the South Asia Region – Bangladesh! This recognition is a significant milestone in our journey toward creating a sustainable future by recycling plastic materials and reducing carbon emissions.
Everyday hundreds of tons of plastic bags are thrown away in the streets of Bangladesh. Discarded plastic bags are washed down to the river, drainage system and ultimately blocking the city drainage systems. During rainy season, clogged up drainage lines are errupted with human waste, which pollutes the city roads and alley.
Every year this types of problem getting bigger and bigger. Meaning we do not have a proper plan to reduce, recycle, reuse plastic materials. If we have plan and action,
