BRAC Recycled Handmade Paper

A BRAC Social Enterprise

Being waste-wise to help prevent environment degradation

Background

BRAC Recycled Handmade Paper (RHMP) today

Today BRAC RHMP operates as one of BRAC’s three Green Enterprises, and produces synthesized paper products from recycled materials, such as, used papers, stalks of wheat, hay, water hyacinth, caustic soda, dye, barley, glue and cotton. These materials are gathered from various BRAC projects and branch offices, thus helping reduce the amount of waste produced by BRAC, and contributing toward employment generation for women and ‘going green’ initiatives nationwide.

BRAC Green Enterprises, with its enduring commitment to environmental principles in its business operations, is participating in environmentally friendly activities to ensure that all processes, products, and services adequately address current environmental concerns. BRAC Green Enterprises is a combination of three enterprises, which work under an umbrella to provide green solutions for the corporate urban market: BRAC Solar works for power solutions, BRAC Nursery for landscaping and plant rental, and BRAC Recycled Paper for office stationeries. Together, this group of green enterprises is engaged in the production of environment-friendly products, and are consequently aiding in the social uprising of green initiatives in both rural and urban communities. This initiative in is very unique, because many enterprises in the renewable energy sector sell exiting products in existing markets, but BRAC Green Enterprises has introduced a complete office solution and its widespread usage can accelerate the process of greening the corporate world in our country.
