Known for being one of the largest waste generators in the eastern suburbs, Club Emerald has converted over 30,000 kg of organic waste into biogas in two months.

The pilot programme of Team 3C headed by Aakarsh Shamanur, envisaged a community cooling solution for vendors to store perishables, which otherwise would expire before consumption.

In a viral Facebook post, Vishab Mehta decided to shed light on the food wastage that happens in flights and even managed to go the extra mile by collecting this unconsumed food to distribute it to the underprivileged.

Retired IPS officer D Sivanandan and UK-based NRI businessman Nitin Khanapurkar launched the ‘Mumbai Roti Bank’ recently in association with the dabbawalas, where GPS-tracked vans would collect excess food from various eating joints, households, functions and school canteens and distribute it among underprivileged hungry people across Mumbai.

Did you know of the Guest Control Order of the 1960s, which was introduced to regulate the number of guests at weddings and social gatherings?

Mumbai’s dabbawalas have come up with an excellent plan to prevent the wastage of food at year-end parties in the city, or other social events and celebrations. About 400 dabbawalas have started a 'Roti Bank' that will not only help reduce the wastage of food, but will also feed the poor and needy in Mumbai.
