How we dispose our garbage is important because garbage is categorized as hazardous waste that poses risks to the ecosystem and environment and improper disposal of garbage greatly affects our environment.

How can we protect our environment? One method is through reusing your fruits or vegetable scraps. An enzyme made from these can be seen as a way to help recover the ozone layer and fight against global warming as the process itself helps to reduce temperature. Fruit and veggie scraps enzyme is easy to make at home and has many uses and benefits.

Uses and Benefits of Garbage Enzymes
• All-purpose 100% natural household cleaner with anti-bacterial properties.
• Can prevent blockage for drainpipe by releasing sludge accumulated in drainage pipes.
• Save money as you make your own natural household cleaning liquid.
• Environmentally friendly: Reduces pollution, acts as a natural pesticide and purifies the air and underground water.

How to make your own Garbage Enzymes



Step 1
Use an air-tight plastic container. Add in 10 parts water.

Step 2
Dilute 1 part brown sugar/molasses in water.

Step 3
Add-in 3 parts vegetables and fruit scraps (cut into small pieces).

Step 4
Do not fill container completely, leave space for fermentation and close lid tightly. Open lid at least once a day for the first month to release built-up gas. Push the floating fruit and veggie bits downward every once in a while.

Step 5
Keep in a cool, dry and well ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and let it ferment for a minimum of 3 months.

Step 6
After 3 months, the enzyme is ready to use. Separate the liquid into a handy container (like an old shampoo or detergent bottle) and use the remaining residue as soil fertilizer.

Important Notes

• Only use kitchen waste like vegetables and fruit skins, do not use cooked food, meat, fish and non-food items (e.g. plastic bags, plastic containers).

• Do not use glass or metal containers.
  

• The colour of the enzymes after 3 months of fermentation should be brown, but if the enzyme turns black, you may add the same amount of brown sugar to re-ferment it for another 3 months. 
  

• There may be a white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme. Ignore it and continue with fermentation. If you encounter worms in the container, leave it for a while and close the cover tightly. 
  

• If you have not gathered enough kitchen waste, you may fill up the container gradually. The fermentation period starts from the last day you add in kitchen wastes.
