The Bangladesh Jute Pavilion Team and the Zero Waste Foundation team agreed to establish regular linkages for continued dialogue, co-creation, and practical collaboration on the sidelines of COP31 in Antalya on Wednesday.
The decision aims to combine jute’s environmental strengths with the Zero Waste Foundation's ongoing initiatives. During the meeting, the Foundation team lauded Bangladesh's presentation of jute ecosystem services, recognizing jute as a carbon-negative, fully biodegradable natural fiber and a practical alternative to single-use plastics.
In response, the Bangladesh Jute Pavilion Team commended the Foundation's sustained efforts, profile, and activities in advancing global zero-waste solutions. Both parties agreed to explore ways to formalize joint efforts.
