This study conducted at Department of Life Sciences at KC College, HSNC University, Mumbai, addressed the issue of waste management of green waste by using the method of composting. This model of generating compost using the bio waste was extrapolated to kitchen waste at home. Home composting has been a preventive option for managing bio waste at local levels as it is a safer and organic way to dispose of the waste. The compost thus generated in 20 days was granulated and odorless. It helped in reducing the waste and also produced a bio fertilizer which was used for the plants in our laboratory as well as home. The plants treated with this compost showed healthier and faster growth than the untreated plants. The results obtained can be used for exploring other bio-waste material that can be used for composting.
