A research team from BGMEA University of Fashion and Technology (BUFT), led by Prof. Dr. Abdul Jalil, has secured a competitive research grant worth Tk 15 million under the Bangladesh Innovation and Research for Development Initiative (BIRDI), part of the Skills for Industry Competitiveness and Innovation Program (SICIP). The BUFT team submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) following the BIRDI circular issued in August last year. In response, 132 proposals were submitted nationwide, of which only 12 projects were selected after a rigorous technical and scientific evaluation. The selected project, titled "Sustainable Valorization of Cotton Waste into High-Value Cellulose-Based Products for Green Industrial Applications," aims to convert large volumes of cotton waste generated in Bangladesh's ready-made garment and textile industry into high-value, eco-friendly materials.
