Major Nazmul Karim Mazumder Patents Eco-Friendly Jute Revolution
In a world grappling with plastic pollution and a growing demand for sustainable materials, innovation often comes from unexpected places. This is the story of Maj. Nazmul Karim Mazumder of the Bangladesh Army—an officer and researcher at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST)—who is spearheading a quiet revolution with one of Bangladesh's most iconic resources: jute.
Alongside his mentor, Prof. Dr. Mokhlesur Rahman, Maj. Mazumder has secured a patent for a groundbreaking innovation: Eco-Friendly Chemical Mixtures for Water-Resistant Jute Products. This isn't just a laboratory achievement; it's a tangible step toward transforming jute into a viable, high-performance alternative to synthetic materials.
