Frequently Asked Questions

The Dhaka Resource Circulation Park (DRCIP) is an integrated waste management and resource recovery initiative led by B&F Company Limited. It aims to transform municipal solid waste into valuable resources such as energy, fuel, and recyclable materials using advanced circular economy technologies.

The project is being developed at the Matuail Sanitary Landfill in Dhaka, Bangladesh, covering both existing landfill areas (100 acres) and new development zones (81 acres) for resource recovery facilities.

The primary objective is to shift from conventional landfill-based waste disposal to a sustainable system that focuses on waste reduction, recycling, energy generation, and carbon emission reduction.

“We are developing a scalable circular economy and energy platform with strong carbon monetization potential in Bangladesh.”

The project is designed to process approximately 3500 tons of municipal solid waste per day (TPD).

DRCIP processes mixed municipal solid waste, including organic waste, plastics, paper, textiles, and inert materials. These are separated and treated through specialized processes.

The project integrates multiple advanced technologies, including:

• Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for sorting
• Biogas (Anaerobic Digestion) for organic waste
• Black Soldier Fly (BSF) processing
• Plastic Pyrolysis for fuel production
• Solid Refuse Fuel (SRF) production
• Eco-brick manufacturing for inert materials

DRCIP significantly reduces landfill volume, lowers methane emissions, promotes recycling, and supports Bangladesh’s climate goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Yes. By capturing methane, reducing emissions, and generating renewable energy, DRCIP is expected to generate substantial carbon credits under international standards.

The project involves collaboration between B&F Company Limited, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), and international technology partners, including organizations KORA, K-ECO, K-Water from South Korea and Finland, China and Bangladesh.

DRCIP will create jobs, generate renewable energy, produce marketable products (fuel, fertilizer, recyclables), and reduce waste management costs for the city.

Unlike traditional landfills that focus on waste dumping, DRCIP focuses on resource recovery, energy generation, and circular economy practices, minimizing environmental impact.

The long-term vision is to establish a fully integrated circular economy hub that can serve as a model for sustainable waste management in Bangladesh and beyond.

Interested investors, technology providers, and partners can engage through formal Expressions of Interest (EOI), partnerships, or joint ventures coordinated by B&F Company Limited.

Yes. DRCIP supports Bangladesh’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and aligns with global sustainability frameworks, including climate mitigation and circular economy principles.

The project is currently in the pilot and preparatory phase, including waste characterization studies, technical planning, and stakeholder engagement.

DRCIP is a large-scale, integrated circular economy infrastructure project that converts municipal solid waste into energy, fuel, and recyclable products. It offers multiple revenue streams within a single platform, reducing dependency on any single income source.

The project begins with a pilot capacity of ~300 TPD and is designed to scale to approximately 3,500–4,000 TPD. The modular structure enables phased investment and expansion aligned with performance and market conditions.

Key revenue sources include:

• Electricity sales (biogas, LFG, hybrid power system)
• Carbon credits (methane avoidance and emissions reduction)
• Recovered materials (plastics, recyclables)
• Refuse-derived fuel (SRF)
• Pyrolysis oil and by-products
• Organic fertilizers (digestate and BSF frass)

Based on pilot-level integrated operations, the project demonstrates strong cash flow potential with short payback periods in certain components (e.g., pyrolysis and BSF units) and stable long-term returns from energy generation assets.

Risk is diversified through:

• Multiple independent revenue streams
• Proven, modular technologies
• Phased implementation strategy
• Public sector collaboration (DSCC) ensuring feedstock security
• Potential long-term power purchase arrangements

The project is located at Matuail Landfill, which receives a continuous and high-volume municipal waste stream from Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), ensuring long-term feedstock availability.

Carbon credits represent a significant upside. By capturing methane and reducing emissions, the project can generate tradable credits under international mechanisms, enhancing overall project returns.

Investment varies by phase and component. The pilot integrated system requires multi-million USD-level CAPEX, while full-scale deployment represents a large infrastructure investment with strong revenue-generating potential.

DRCIP is being developed by B&F Company Limited in collaboration with Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), with opportunities for international technology partners, strategic investors, and joint venture participation.

Yes. The project is structured to attract international investors, particularly in technology, infrastructure financing, and carbon market participation.

DRCIP strongly aligns with ESG principles by reducing environmental impact, generating renewable energy, creating jobs, and contributing to climate change mitigation goals.

The project is being developed in alignment with local government authorities and national sustainability objectives, ensuring institutional support and policy alignment.
