Why This Boycott?

The Pollution Crisis

Bangladesh's rivers are dying. Industrial pollution is the primary culprit.

Worst Offenders

  • Hazaribagh tanneries (relocated but still polluting)
  • Textile dyeing units in Savar and Gazipur
  • Chemical factories near Buriganga River
  • Fish processing units dumping waste

Products to Avoid

  1. Leather goods from non-certified tanneries
  2. Garments without environmental certifications
  3. Fish from polluted waters

Certified Alternatives

Look for:

  • Leather Working Group certification

  • OEKO-TEX certification

  • Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC)
