Transforming Trash into Treasure:
Food Waste Education Workshop supported by SG Eco Fund

19 May 2024

     

 

“Should tea bags be considered recyclable food waste?”

This was one of the many questions brought up during the workshop held on a vibrant Sunday afternoon. Residents of Kim Tian converged eagerly to gain a deeper understanding of food waste upcycling.

“Treasure hunting” for recyclable food waste

The workshop was an interactive learning session, where participants embarked on a “treasure hunt” to accurately identify the type of food waste that can be collected and upcycled in a composter. They were better able to appreciate the intricacies of various types of food waste (both raw and cooked), and how such waste can be upcycled to become precious “treasure” i.e. organic compost. By the end of the workshop, residents were able to confidently segregate food waste and appreciate what can or cannot be upcycled.
