In Malaysia there are farmers who use chemical fertilisers and cause a negative impact on the environment. At the same time we find more than 36699 tons of garbage per day and consists of domestic waste and mostly food waste. In stores that sell food such as restaurants and burger stalls have donated leftover food which mostly consists of egg shells and onion skins. After some careful observation, we found that food scraps such as eggshells and onion skins can be used as fertiliser for plants. Therefore, O-shell Ferti was produced to solve two Malaysian issues that are taken for granted by the population. O-shell Ferti's main ingredients are onion skins(0.5%) and eggshells(0.3%). Ferti's O-shell production can help reduce food waste in Malaysia. The determination of this fertiliser has been fully tested on chilli plants and corn plants and the result on corn plants in the third week of the test was 35.9 cm using O-Shell Ferti while corn plants that did not use any product only increased. by 16 cm compared to O-Shell Ferti. Through this test, the effectiveness of O-shell Ferti has been proven. O-shell Ferti is 99 percent environmentally friendly and provides the same benefits as other organic fertilisers. Ultimately, this increases the chance that Ferti's O-shell will be the gardener's first choice and result in their plants being chemical-free. Overall, Ferti's O-shell can help save the environment. This is determined by promoting waste recycling in daily life and environmental sustainability.
