Karnaphuli River Waste Management Cell Ltd Company is the pioneer and only proper Waste Management Company in the maritime sector of Bangladesh. We have been carrying out waste management services to different ships at river and sea since 2005.
We provide waste management service for solid, liquid, medical, E-waste and hazardous waste. We have got all concerned licenses, certificates and documents which we are updating each year regularly by paying Government revenue. We are getting all support from concerned authorities and stakeholders in maritime sectors.
A very capable team is working under the supervision of a professional Board of Directors. We are maintaining office, temporary dumping store, segregation yard and recycling factories at Chittagong. The company is well equipped with sufficient boats, trucks, lorries and ships for the transportation of waste.
Our Segregation Facility
Chittagong Port Authority is the largest Sea Port in Bangladesh which is earning about 32% government revenue from ships using the Karnaphuli River. Karnaphuli River is playing a very vital role in national economy as it is connected with Chittagong Port and sea. A huge number of ships are using this river.
The river has been polluted by the garbage of ships, industries and citizens of Chittagong. The erosion of this river has reached an extreme risk level which has become very dangerous for ocean-going ships to come to the Chittagong Port. While Chittagong City Corporation takes care of garbage in city areas, no one was taking care of garbage from ships using the Karnaphuli River.
Early waste collection operations on Karnaphuli River
Considering the pollution state in Buriganga River and the situation of citizens of Dhaka, we took an initiative to form a company in the name of Karnaphuli Traders and Commission Agent to collect garbage from ships at Karnaphuli River in 2005.
