Nilphamari Correspondent :
Air pollution is affecting the environment and the ecosystem all over the world, including Bangladesh. One of the reasons for this change in climate is the black smoke of brick kilns. The main cause of air pollution in Bangladesh is the production of burnt bricks with coal and wood. After the first Shariatpur and Barguna district in Bangladesh, eco-friendly bricks are being made in Hajiganj of Sadar upazila of Nilphamari through automatic machines.
An inaugural and informative meeting was held in the Hall Room of the office of Eco Home Solutions Limited (Eco Block) Brick Making Company at Dalpatti-Nilphamari on Tuesday
At the meeting, Gerald Holtvaluer (Belgium), CEO of Eco Home Solutions Ltd., said that the brick, a mixture of clay, bricks and cement, was made using a modern machine (imported from Europe) at a higher pressure block. Beautiful houses do not need to be plastered to see the features of these bricks. Hot in cold weather and cold in summer. There is no need to burn in the fire so the environment is not polluted.
In his welcome speech, William Giz (Netherlands), Managing Director, Eco Home Solutions Ltd., said, “We don’t need to plaster the walls of this block, which is 1.6 times bigger than burnt bricks in the size of eco blocks.
Engineer Shafiqul Alam Dablu, President, Nilphamari Chamber of Commerce and Industries Ltd., as the chief guest at the meeting said, “I am aware that the Government of Bangladesh has decided to introduce coal-fired brick kilns on a limited scale by 2024.” In my opinion (eco block) if bricks are introduced in a large scale, environmental disasters in Bangladesh will be reduced to a great extent.
