As global sustainability regulations tighten, Bangladesh’s export-driven industries face a critical transition. In this episode of Voices of the Changemakers, Sakina Binte Belayet, Business Consultant at LightCastle Partners, speaks with Taif Hossain, Program Manager at the European Union, on how Bangladesh is preparing for the European Union’s Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation and Digital Product Passport (DPP).
The conversation highlights a key challenge, while large corporates are gradually aligning with compliance requirements, SMEs and informal supply chain actors remain at risk of being left behind. The discussion further explores why phased implementation, institutional coordination, and targeted support mechanisms are essential to ensure an inclusive transition.
Against this backdrop, LightCastle Partners convened a closed-door roundtable in April 2026 under Phase 2 of Oporajita – Collective Impact on Future of Work, bringing together policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, industry leaders, and development partners to examine how circularity and resource efficiency can be scaled across the RMG sector. The discussion emphasized the need for coordinated action to navigate regulatory pressures and enable a more resilient, future-ready industry.
