Environment and Social Development Organization (ESDO) held a day-long mobile and signature campaign to gain public support for banning all single-use plastic products, including sachets, on May 28, 2022, at multiple locations throughout Dhaka city to raise public awareness about the hazardous environmental consequences of using single-use plastic sachets and to motivate mass people to stop using them.

The abandoned packaging, which included the names of well-known international coffee creamer, biscuits, laundry detergent, and confectionary companies, was identified as one of Asia’s most significant environmental issues. In emerging countries, sachets, which are palm-sized packets, have grown in popularity, allowing low-income consumers to buy single amounts of almost any product. Most individuals deal with sachets on a regular basis, yet they are also one of the most serious waste issues we face.

This day-long mobile and signature campaign was freely participated in by the public. In support of the endeavor, more than 600 people signed a petition.
