A worker spreads out shredded plastic under the sun to dry. Discarded plastic is sorted based on the chemical properties and colour, shredded into pieces, washed and then placed into machines which melt and inject them into moulds, creating everyday items used around the house. Each kilogramme of such shredded plastic sells for anywhere for Tk 35 to Tk 110. The photo was taken at Aronghata Lata Mor in Khulna recently.
