An Analysis of Legal Frameworks Concerning Waste Management in Bangladesh: Prospects and Challenges

Abstract

One of the most concerning problems facing Bangladesh's environment and society at large is the accumulation of hazardous waste. Developing nations like Bangladesh have more long-term difficulty when it comes to waste management. Also, the administration, particularly the relevant local Government of the municipality, is struggling to deal with the problem due to a lack of adequate manpower, an antiquated waste management system, a lack of necessary technological resources, and widespread corruption. As a direct consequence, ensuring the long-term viability of waste management practices has become significantly more difficult. This study discusses the cognitive Idea of electronic waste, environmental dangers, and waste creation mechanism associated with it, and the method by which waste is produced. At the same time, the research highlights the conceptual components included in the most recent waste management systems used across the country. In addition, this paper has made an effort to analyze the limitations and shortcomings of the Government's present national legal rules and suggested ideas to develop waste management systems that are effective and sustainable to remove the dangerous effects of hazardous wastes.
