According to the statistics, roughly about 1.3 billion tonnes of food produced in the world for human consumption got wasted every year. The contribution of food waste to the landfills are about 30% therefore it is crucial for us to close the loop of food waste and stopping it from contributing to landfills.

This year, in collaboration with the Selangor State government, EcoKnights is organizing a campaign called ‘Garbage to Garden (G2G)’ that acts as a platform to educate the public about backyard composting food waste and raise awareness about how we can put food waste to a good use.

The objectives of this campaign is:

• Reduce organic waste produced by the residents in Selangor through a 5-month backyard composting programme.
• Provide backyard composting education and compost bins to 100 participants.
• Build up capacity of community to compost and get 50% change agents through this programme.
