With its innovative Zero Waste Kitchen concept, Krystal School of Excellence (KSE), a leading destination in the hospitality sector, is demonstrating its unwavering dedication to sustainability on World Environment Day. Underscoring the topic of “Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience” for this year’s event, KSE is showcasing its commitment to group action for environmental restoration on 3rd June.

The institute will be teaching students about the critical necessity of a Zero Waste Kitchen through a transformative workshop on campus. Students will learn how to incorporate sustainability into their daily culinary practices with stimulating discussions and hands-on learning experiences. The workshop will use waste-free techniques to highlight the inventiveness of sustainable cooking techniques. Using vegetable peels to make nutrient-dense peel chips and powerful fertilizers is one such technique; another shows how to turn leftover lemon peel into a multipurpose kitchen appliance cleaner. KSE will impart a comprehensive awareness of sustainable living to its pupils by stressing the significance of waste segregation.

Apart from reusing unused kitchen items, students will learn the skill of growing veggies from these leftovers. Using techniques like regrowing lettuce and basil and extracting onion and garlic powder from leftovers, KSE will show how attentive consumption can have a profound impact.

This program demonstrates KSE’s and its culinary students’ steadfast dedication to environmental preservation. It draws attention to how crucial it is for the hospitality sector to adopt sustainable practices to create a more ecologically friendly and sustainable future.
