AI is revolutionising the circular economy by transforming waste management, recycling, and supply chains. In Bangladesh, where resource efficiency remains a critical challenge, AI can play a pivotal role in driving sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
AI-powered technologies are optimising waste management systems by automating sorting, tracking, and recycling processes. In Bangladesh, these innovations could improve the efficiency of recycling plants, ensuring that valuable resources are reused rather than discarded. Additionally, AI helps businesses minimise waste and improve logistics in supply chains, resulting in cost savings and reducing carbon footprints.
Through data-driven analytics, AI allows businesses to track their sustainability goals and measure their environmental impact in real-time. This information helps organisations make informed decisions to reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote green practices.
For Bangladesh, AI offers a unique opportunity to address waste management challenges while simultaneously promoting a circular economy. However, for these technologies to be fully effective, the country must invest in AI infrastructure, develop skilled professionals, and foster collaboration between the government and private sector.
AI holds great potential to help Bangladesh transition toward a sustainable economy by enhancing waste management, improving recycling efforts, and supporting eco-friendly supply chains.
