On December 17, 2024, Our Bangladesh Regional Block Grantee BRAC hosted a Plastic Upcycling Fair at Sugandha Point, engaging 70 youth in sustainable waste management under the theme “Waste to Wonder.”

This event followed an intensive three-day bootcamp (November 8–11, 2024), where participants were trained to creatively repurpose plastic waste and explore its business potential. The fair showcased upcycled products, featured an engaging Theatre for Development session, and emphasized youth-driven sustainability initiatives.

As part of the PLEASE Project, this initiative highlighted innovative solutions for plastic waste management, inspiring young changemakers to turn discarded materials into valuable resources.
