“…After 1970 when the jute industry started to collapse its market, the RMG industry grabbed the position. It became the top profit-making sector in the country for decades (Farhana et al, 2022;Kabeer, 1991;Van Schendel, 2020;Yunus & Yamagata, 2012).…”

Bangladesh has made a tremendous contribution to RMG (Ready Made Garment) sector since the 1970s. Textiles and apparels consider for about 85% of the total export earnings of Bangladesh. Though it’s quite difficult to mete out the dimension of performance and objection of the RMG sector in Bangladesh but to fulfill the task this study has made a search based on the study of attainable documents. The beauty of this study lies in its way of narration, a sequential way of description. The study discovers that since its inception, the RMG industry contributed significantly to our economy especially during the last three decades. The cross-check analysis has been conducted to compare the last three decades’ export of RMG, specific garments export, GDP, market share, etc to get a lucid idea of the business trend of the RMG industry. These initiatives focus more on the establishment of sound structure, skilled manpower, enhanced market access, access to finance at the competitive interest rate, adaptation with advanced technology as well as institutional development. Therefore, both public and private sectors need to take several preliminaries, independently and collaboratively to overcome these challenges. Moreover, to take control and reserve the golden share of RMG, assured branding needs to be expansive.

“…Some biomass sources such as lignocellulosic biomass, industrial waste, agricultural waste, and food waste are used to produce renewable energy including bioethanol, biogas, and biodiesel, [13]. These sources of renewable energy have received attention as a basis for sustainable technology to meet energy needs and promote environmental protection [14][15][16][17][18]. Ensuring sustainable actualization of renewable energy options with low adverse environmental effects is crucial for the energy economy [19].…”

Bioenergy is one of several renewable energy options derived from biomass that can help satisfy our energy needs. Anaerobic digestion is a viable method for producing bioenergy in the form of biogas from biomass. The anaerobic digestion process is challenged with low biogas recovery, and low-quality effluent or CO2 emission, which contribute to environmental pollution and the carbon footprint in the atmosphere. Computational process modelling and simulation can provide realistic information for dealing with the technological challenges involved with anaerobic digestion. In this study, modeling and simulation of the simplified anaerobic digestion process were done using SuperPro Designer software fed with biomass feedstock containing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as yeast, at 37 °C mesophilic temperature. The anaerobic digestion process yielded 89.655% of CH4 and 10.345% of CO2 and confirmed that the carbohydrate feedstock produces more CH4 composition in the biogas. Mineralization of CO2 using MgO yielded 0.23% MgCO3, consuming > 99% of the CO2 produced during the anaerobic digestion process. Environmental impact assessment of the effluent discharge yielded 0.142 kg Slds/L volatile solid with 6.01% COD reduction per batch of the anaerobic digestion process in an anaerobic digester with 90% (1.925 kg/batch) feedstock dosage. The data indicate that single-batch effluent cannot be discharged into the environment, hence indicating the possible recycling for multiple anaerobic digestion processing. The results are a significant guide for the realistic scalable production of high-quality biogas for bioenergy application, CO2 mineralization, and environmental remediation.

“…Despite its indisputable contributions, this industry is one of the largest polluters, consuming high amounts of fuels and chemicals. 1 The damage to the environment caused by the textile industry is mainly due to untreated wastewater being discharged directly into the aquatic environment. Synthetic dyes are not only unsightly but also interfere with the passage of light through the water, thereby reducing the rate of photosynthesis, reducing dissolved oxygen levels, affecting the entire aquatic ecosystem, and harming the organisms in contact with them.…”

In this study, geopolymer originating from locally industrial byproducts as red mud (RM) was successfully prepared in the presence of different loadings of rice husk ash (RHA) used for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) in wastewater. During geopolymerization, various mixing amounts between RM and RHA were conducted when the weight ratio of binder solution/ activated alkali-metal solution (Na 2 SiO 3 / NaOH 7 M) was 2.5 and the curing temperature was set at 60 °C for 24 h. As a result, the surface area value of the prepared geopolymer composited with RHA at 0 and 60% was increased from 19.2 to 29.5 m 2 /g, while the BJH pore size of the prepared geopolymer was reduced to 6.68 and 5.76 nm, respectively. In the dye removal test, higher additions of RHA in the RM-geopolymer maintained better retention of the MB ion due to the increase in the adsorption binding site. The maximum uptake amount of dyes performed at pH 8 was changed from 6.59 to 10.74 mg/g, while RHA was from 0 to 60% after 180 min of immersion in MB solution. The adsorption isotherms well obeyed the Langmuir model, as the relative coefficient R 2 was 0.999. Based on these, the initial agricultural waste as RHA and industrial byproducts as RM were valued as functional materials used for dye treatment in wastewater.
