The Central Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) at Savar Tannery Industrial City is fully operational for purifying chemical waste.
Industries Secretary Md Abdul Halim on Saturday said this while exchanging views with the stakeholders of the tannery industry at Savar.
Among others, Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) Chairman Md Mostaque Hassan, General Secretary of the Bangladesh Tanners Association (BTA) Md Sakawat Ullah and Senior Vice-Chairman of the Bangladesh Finished Leather, Leather Goods and Footwear Exporters’ Association (BFLLFEA) Mohammad Diljahan Bhuiyan were present on the occasion.
“On the Eid day and after, tannery owners collected half of the rawhide for whole year. So during the next two to three months, tanneries in the industrial city will run at full speed,” he said
The Industries Secretary urged the tanneries to work together in the peak season for maintaining the international standard of the leather goods.
Speaking as the chief guest, Abdul Halim said that seasonal rawhide traders had ruined their rawhide in some areas due to poor preservation.
“This is not a picture of the whole country. In most of the areas, the rawhide has been properly preserved. Necessary instruction has been given in this regard at the field level through divisional and district administration,” he added.
Mostaque Hassan said, CEPT will be fully automated and the government has imported necessary equipment for operating the CEPT by using remote control. “Three dumping yards will be prepared soon for waste management,” he added Sakawat Ullah said, Savar Tannery Industrial City is doing better than the past. All four CETP units of the industrial city are functioning properly, he added.
