Ricecycle ecofertiliser

This project tackles the critical issues of the food waste and plastic bottles that contribute to significant environmental pollution that can have effects on ecosystems, human health, and the economy. The objective is to recycle and reduce pollution caused by food leftovers such as rice, fruit peels and tea dregs. Simple methods by placing the food waste in biodegradable tea bags and putting it in a recycled plastic bottle containing rice filtering water to boost decomposition and nutrient release, promoting sustainable agricultural practices. The usage of this liquid fertilizer along with chemical fertilizer showed a difference in the plant's height and its stem diameter. Reused plastic bottles serve as fertilizer containers not only reduce plastic pollution but also promote the 3R concepts (reduce, reuse, recycle). Moreover, the materials used in this project can improve soil quality, promotes healthier plant growth, and promotes sustainable planting. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to benefit the community through its contribution to a sustainable economy and promote environmental sustainability goals by providing a workable solution to food and plastic waste.
