Hope this inspires many more to choose to be more conscious of the waste generated at events.

Our Micro composting center at Pudupet , Egmore makes green events possible.
We have buckets for rent so plastic bags can be avoided and the segregated waste can be handled and transported with ease.
All the segregated waste that reaches the MCC is weighed and processed.

With every kilo of organic matter diverted from dumpyards , we can save 2.5 kilos of CO2e (carbon emissions).With methane being 25 times more dangerous than carbon , the impact is huge.

What a couple generates in 2 or 3 years is generated in just one event .So it becomes all the more important to focus on bulk waste generation.

We are happy that clients who conduct Green Events take the next step and start their green journey with us with home composting , Bioenzyme making and much more.

Looking for hand holding in sustainable practices , give us a call!!

Thank you Shobana Radhakrishnan of for covering the Namma Ooru Centre for Sustainability at Pudupet ,Egmore .

Most people give up on composting because of the smell and in recent times people have started associating composting with stench .
ooru we aim to break that misconception through our home composting,community composting and bulk composting systems.

When we actually ‘compost’ it’s a scientific process where we balance the nitrogen,carbon,air and moisture.When this balance is maintained ,there is no smell .

Smell is an indication of missed steps ,missing carbon,not enough aeration ,etc .

Composting is a life skill and the most important climate action in present times with soil degradation and dumpyards growing exponentially.

DM us to learn how to compost the right way .

“Our power, our planet” is this year’s Earth Day theme.
AI, Space exploration, quantum computing, 5G, and 2025 has already seen a rapid development in technology, making the human race more powerful.
But in this process, are we forgetting what our real power is?

The planet !!

With every step we take towards achieving a hi-tech future, the planet loses more and more of its resources.

Let this Earth Day act as a reminder for all of us to focus on sustainable development through education, advocacy, and community development.
Happy Earth Day 2025!

Thank you Hindu Newspaper and Prince Frederick for covering Namma Ooru Centre for Sustainability , Pudupet , Egmore.
Thank you IOCL and IIT for supporting and standing by the project.

10 years of understanding, learning , unlearning , relearning , providing solutions for composting from an individual level to community composting and to bulk composting has been an amazing journey.

The meticulous process set up by Mr.Natarajan makes all the difference .

It is our vision to divert all organic matter in cities , towns and villages from the dumpyards and from being burnt to Micro composting centers where they can be converted to nutritious compost and sent back to farms and gardens to nourish the soil .

With your support we can create more models like this and complete the circle.

Sustainable Solid waste management is the missing link.

It is Climate Action everyday for us and Earth Day everyday!!
Join us and lets all manage our waste responsibly!!
