With polythene bags banned, shops near Cox’s Bazar Beach are now offering customers eco-friendly alternatives, such as jute and cloth bags. Shoppers have readily embraced these biodegradable options, using them for their purchases.
Stores display a variety of jute, paper, and cloth bags in different sizes alongside a range of jute- and cloth-based household, daily-use, and fashion items. These sustainable products are environmentally friendly and add a touch of style, making them a popular choice among locals and tourists alike.
This shift marks a promising step towards reducing plastic pollution and promoting green practices in one of Bangladesh’s most visited coastal destinations.
