Turning Waste into Wonder: Sustainable Cleaning with Bio-Enzymes

The “Turning Waste into Wonder: Sustainable Cleaning with Bio-Enzymes” project has made a significant impact across several key areas. By repurposing citrus peels into bio-enzyme solutions, the initiative successfully diverted approximately 500–625 liters of waste per month from landfills, thus reducing organic waste and mitigating environmental pollution. The project also educated over 1,000 individuals through workshops and awareness campaigns, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental issues and promoting responsible waste practices within the community. Moreover, it encouraged behavioral changes, leading households and local vendors to adopt eco-friendly cleaning methods, which signifies a shift towards more sustainable practices. Collaborations with lemon juice vendors and community surveys have established a foundation for future partnerships, enhancing the capacity to scale up bio-enzyme production and implement effective waste management solutions. Overall, this project has contributed to a cleaner environment and empowered community members with valuable knowledge, serving as a model for other communities to embrace similar sustainable practices.
