South Asia is the global hub of ship breaking and recycling of End of Life (EOL) ships. Bangladesh possesses the largest recycling industry in the world. Average 200 different types and of EOL ships are recycled annually in different local recycling yards in Bangladesh. In the present research it has been found that; average 2000000 LDT different types and sizes of obsolete ships are recycled annually in local yards in Bangladesh.
Actual Challenge of this sector is the restrictive nature, as well as lack of ground data.

Local recycling industry of Bangladesh will be sustainable at future if proper guidance and professionalism can be enforced. This promising local industry need continuous monitoring, good leadership, financing, guiding, motivation and whole hearted support from government and other related stake-holders.
