This paper presents the outline of a demonstration project that aims to develop a
safe and sustainable system for the management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in
Bangladesh through the practical application of WasteSafe Approach. Khulna, the third largest
city of Bangladesh and situated at the Southwest region of the country, is considered as the case
study area. Target groups of this project are local governments, national governmental
ministries, professional engineers, academicians, researchers, civic societies, Non Governmental
Organisations (NGOs), Community Based Organizations (CBOs), the private sectors and overall
the city dwellers who will benefit directly from an improved safe and sustainable MSW
management. The main activities are a specific need analysis based on local conditions, the
practical application of WasteSafe proposal and its reality check, the development of acceptable
composting technology and appropriate landfill construction method through demo projects,
studies on the usability of local construction materials and wetlands for engineered landfills, the
development of a waste management master plan, the development of technical guidelines for all
tiers of waste management, an assessment system and training, seminar and workshops for

California SB 54 Is Here: What Companies Using Plastic Packaging Need To Do Now | JD Supra
SB 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, was signed into law on June 30, 2022. Its goal is to create a framework that shifts waste management costs from the local government onto producers. To that end, SB 54 requires producers to (1) reduce the use of Covered Materials; and (2) ensure that all Covered Materials are recyclable or compostable by 2032.

[3] To the extent you are a producer, the final regulations implementing SB 54 which went into effect May 1, 2026 have set near-term milestones with which you must comply. First, by June 1, 2026, all producers (subject to very limited exceptions) must either (1) participate in an approved Producer Responsibility Organization ( PRO ), or (2) decide to comply individually and register with CalRecycle. Depending on which path a producer decides to follow, it will also be subject to subsequent deadlines. Producers who plan to participate in an approved PRO must have a producer responsibility plan in place by June 15, 2026. If you choose to comply individually and register with CalRecycle, they must approve you, and once...
