Regardless domestic limitations on plastic bags, export goods are highly depended on plastics-related industries. Those industries are blooming in Bangladesh and leaving behind any sign of economic doldrums thanks to the needs of packaging for the export-oriented industries, such as Ready-Made-Garment (RMG) ranked no. 4 worldwide by WTO.
