About

Rizvan Hasan

Circular economy practitioner. 13+ years in Bangladesh's garment industry, from the garment supply chain to textile waste traceability. Trains factories, waste handlers, consultants and institutes, and speaks to university and industry audiences.

I started in garment merchandising, where the job is turning a buyer's order into shipped cartons on time. That taught me how a factory really runs: the numbers, the people and the shortcuts. Today I work on the other end of the line, on what happens to the cut-offs and leftovers, and how to trace them so they become raw material again.

I am a specialist, not a consultant. I write to understand things, and I share what I find.

Find me on LinkedIn.
