THE GREEN GOLD MAKERS

The world in all its states

An episode from the series ARTE INVESTIGATION

Synopsis

In Dhaka, thousands of people eke out a living by scavenging through landfills. For many, waste is a burden but for Maqsood Sinha and Iftekhar Enayetullah, it represents an opportunity.

Their social enterprise turns trash into compost, jobs, and income for the poorest neighborhoods.

A local solution that has become a model emulated far beyond Bangladesh.
