About

I am passionate about adopting a sustainable approach to product design, process optimization, and waste management based on the principles of a circular economy. I have a strong background in Material Flow Analysis (MFA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), essential tools for quantifying flows and stocks and identifying environmental, social, and economic impacts within a product system. With ten years of experience in the textile and ready-made garments (RMG) manufacturing and sourcing industry, I have gained expertise working with diverse textiles and RMG industries in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Throughout my career, I have contributed to regular production and sourcing activities and played a significant role in driving automation and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, earning recognition and rewards for my efforts. Currently, my focus lies on sustainable modelling of primary and secondary economic sectors using the principles of industrial ecology.
