Purpose: Teach participants how worm-composting turns food waste into nutrient-rich fertiliser, cutting landfill methane at the source.
Audience: Both | Price: RM40/pax
Food waste sent to landfill produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas — vermicomposting stops that at the source. Vermicomposting is the process of using worms, typically earthworms, to break down organic waste like kitchen scraps and paper into nutrient-rich compost; the worms eat the waste and produce castings, which create a high-quality fertiliser for plants. In this hands-on workshop, our facilitators show participants how to set up a simple worm-composting bin, and every participant leaves knowing how to start their own at home or in the office pantry. It pairs well with our Waste to Fresh and Mini Potting Upcycle stations for a full circular-economy zone.
