DHAKA – The Bangladesh Textile Millers Association (BTMA) has urged authorities to ban the export of garment waste in a bid to preserve raw materials for native recyclers.
In a letter to the National Board of Revenue, the BTMA pointed to capacity building efforts underway across Bangladesh as companies look to accommodate greater streams of textile waste.
It calls for the withdrawal of VAT which in some cases makes the import of recycled fibre cheaper than trade on the domestic market.
