Introduction: More Than Waste — A Movement

In the heart of Vadodara, a sustainable revolution is quietly unfolding. Women’s self-help groups are leading the charge, transforming household wet waste into valuable compost — generating revenue, cleaning up neighbourhoods, and uplifting entire communities.

Green Planet Solutions Pune believes this model isn’t just inspiring — it’s replicable. It holds powerful lessons for other cities seeking urban composting solutions, women empowerment, and circular economy growth.
