Industries Are Shifting Toward Organic and Circular Practices: Shafi Group’s successful vermicomposting pilot with Organic Greener is proof that this transition is achievable, scalable, and beneficial for both the environment and business operations.

Introduction

The global shift is clear. People demand organic food, healthier lifestyles, and chemical-free farming. Industries are adapting to these expectations because sustainability is no longer optional. It is a business requirement.

Shafi Gluco, a part of Shafi Group, has initiated a pilot vermicomposting farm in Hub in partnership with Organic Greener. The objective is direct:
Convert organic waste into a valuable input for soil improvement, reduce the carbon footprint, support food security, and promote organic fertilizer instead of chemical alternatives.

Why Shafi Gluco Initiated This Project

Shafi Gluco’s goal is to transition toward organic and cleaner production methods. Their focus includes:

. Reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers

. Closing material loops through waste recovery

. Supporting healthier food systems and agricultural outputs

By adopting vermicomposting, Shafi Gluco demonstrates commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially:

. SDG 2: Zero Hunger (food security through better soil health)

. SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being (chemical-free crops and healthier living)

. SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

. SDG 13: Climate Action

Why Vermicomposting Supports Organic and Healthy Living

Vermicomposting decomposes organic waste through earthworms and produces a nutrient-dense organic fertilizer known as vermicompost. This process:

. Enhances soil nutrients and microbial activity

. Improves crop quality without chemical additives

. Eliminates harmful residues found in synthetic fertilizers

Healthy soil creates healthy food.

The Global Shift Toward Organic Living

Consumer behavior is changing. People are choosing:

. Chemical-free vegetables

. Natural fertilizers

. Safe and traceable food sources

Organic farming addresses these needs by:

. Increasing nutrient density in crops

. Reducing long-term soil degradation

. Supporting healthier lifestyles and cleaner ecosystems

This aligns with global food security goals. 

What Organic Greener Delivered to Shafi Gluco

Organic Greener set up the pilot vermicomposting infrastructure and provided:

. Site assessment and farm layout

. Supply of red wiggler composting worms

.  Training for team members

. Digital monitoring of farm progress

The objective is simple:
Convert industrial organic waste into a valuable resource, not landfill material.

Measurable Environmental Benefits

Vermicomposting proves that sustainability and profitability can align.

Shafi Gluco’s Vision

Shafi Gluco wants to integrate organic systems into their production model, move toward sustainable sourcing, and ensure long-term soil health. They are positioning themselves not as a follower but as a regional leader in industrial sustainability and organic transformation.

Their plan includes:

. Scaling vermicomposting operations

. Increasing organic fertilizer production

. Supporting local agriculture with healthier soil inputs.

Conclusion

Shafi Gluco’s pilot vermicomposting farm shows that industrial sustainability is possible with clear intent and the right expertise. By turning organic waste into high-quality fertilizer, they reduce emissions, support food security, and help shift Pakistan toward organic living and sustainable agriculture.

Circular economy is not theory. Organic Greener and Shafi Gluco is practicing it in a real world of Industries.
