The Complete Source Segregation Guide for Pakistan

Source segregation means sorting waste where it is created — before it leaves your home. This single habit can cut landfill-bound waste by up to 60%.

In the kitchen: fruit peels, vegetable scraps, tea leaves, and leftover food go to organics. Plastic wrappers and packaging go to dry recyclables.

In the bathroom: sanitary waste goes to the reject stream — never mixed with organics or recyclables.

Use labeled bins or the Eco Zindagi three-drawer system to make segregation automatic for every family member.

Start with one week of conscious sorting. Most families form the habit within 14 days.
