Belagavi City Turns Coconut Waste into Useful Products
The Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) has started a project to recycle coconut waste.
They are collecting fallen coconut leaves and turning them into useful things.
Self-help groups (SHGs) help by making brooms from the stems and animal food from the leaves.
They also provide the dried stems to cremation grounds as eco-friendly firewood.
The project started after a survey of coconut trees in the city.
This is part of the city's plan to be more environmentally friendly.
The mayor helped start the idea, and now there are special trucks to collect the coconut waste.
Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) launched a project to recycle coconut waste.
The project turns coconut fronds into brooms, animal fodder, and cremation materials.
A survey identified over 11,000 coconut trees within the city limits.
Self-help groups (SHGs) are involved in processing the coconut waste.
The initiative is part of the BCC's broader environmental efforts.
