Renaissance Mumbai Hotel and Convention Center wins recognition from BMC

Renaissance Mumbai Hotel and Convention Center has received the second prize for 'Best practice of converting garden waste into vermicompost' – in Commercial buildings category by the Tree Authority and BMC.





Oliver Kahf, General Manager, Renaissance Mumbai Hotel and Convention Center, said, "This recognition by the Tree Authority and Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai is a vindication of the efforts put in by our team for taking effective measures for green initiatives. It is our continuous and constant endeavour to find out ways and means to protect and improve our environment in every possible way. This recognition spurs us on to introduce greater 'greener' initiatives to contribute to the environment that we live and work in."

Vermicompost is a process wherein all the garden waste in the property is collected on a daily basis and filled in a pit where liquid cow dung is added to convert it into semi-decomposed matter. This semi-decomposed matter is then transferred to another pit which has soil and earthworms. After 21 days, the vermicompost is ready. This is then sieved and collected in bags and used as manure for gardening purposes. Vermicompost has more plant nutrients then simple compost or farmyard manure
