Trash is not just trash anymore. It is a huge money-making business for scrap dealers like Khairul Bosor. A loan from his previous employer and his experience gave him a proper boost to own a successful business. And now he is gaining more experience through the association. He said, “I am very optimistic about the association UNDP created for the scrap dealers. It is building good social relationships among the dealers.”
He follows the association’s protocol and encourages others to do the same. He is very grateful for the grant money he received through the association. Furthermore, he mentioned, “I want to establish a plastic recycling factory someday.” He thinks being a hard worker and having an open mind is necessary for a successful business. “There was a time when I was working 24 hours a day, and now my success is in front of everyone,” he added.
A few years ago I wasn’t able to feed my family, now I’m planning to expand my business to Dhaka.
