The Waste Lab

🌿 Exciting News! 🌿 We are thrilled to announce that The Waste Lab has partnered with LUSH Cosmetics UAE to launch its first food scraps rescue and nature-based composting operations! 🌱 While hotels and restaurants are often associated with food waste, this collaboration demonstrates that sustainability can thrive in unexpected places. Lush’s commitment to reducing waste aligns perfectly with our mission to rescue food scraps and give them a new life, enriching our soils and promoting a circular economy. Together, we are leading the way in cosmetic sustainability and showing that every industry can contribute to a greener future. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of this partnership and inspiring others to join us on this journey. Let’s continue to make a difference, one compost pile at a time! 🌍 #Sustainability #FoodWaste #Composting #CircularEconomy #TheWasteLab #LushCosmetics #GreenInitiative #NatureBasedSolutions #UAE

We were happy to engage with the amazing Emirates NBD team in a composting demo in collaboration with The Waste Lab - showing that composting at home can be accessible to everyone. This activity raises awareness about the benefits of composting and empowers individuals to start taking action to transform waste into value. You don’t even need a garden to start the process. Composting can be done in apartments using simple indoor bins and this natural fertiliser can then be added to the soil of household plants: adding nutrients, improving the structure and enhancing water retention of soil. On this World Environment Day, we are reminded of the vital role of composting in soil regeneration. Taking measures to compost food waste rather than sending it to landfill contributes to the reduction of methane emissions, to the circularity of food systems and to advancing food security objectives through building soil. #WorldEnvironmentDay #Composting #soilhealth #GenerationRestoration #Goumbook #EatItorSaveIt Vijay Bains Seema Shetty Hemant Julka

"We don't live on earth, but on a very thin layer of soil..." As we celebrate the success of Goumbook's MENAT Regenerative Agriculture Venture Programme's inaugural year, we look back on the transformative journey it has been! We set out with the ambition to drive awareness of Regenerative Agriculture for the MENAT region. By supporting regional research and nature-based solutions, we wanted to tackle the unique challenges of the region in agriculture, food systems, and climate change and provide customised solutions. Our aim was to bridge the gap between academia and the private sector, providing a supportive ecosystem for impactful scaling. Looking back over the past year, we are happy to have successfully created an ecosystem of thought leaders, partners and advisors for the three winners of the programme to lean on and scale for impact.
