Ooze | set of 2 children's books about e-waste
Dimensions (inches) | 9.5"L * 7"W |
Contents | set of 2 books |
Material | Paper |
Ideal for | all children above 4 years |
When a battery oozes, what happens? Is there a difference between a glass jar breaking and a bulb breaking? Can they be thrown with other waste?
The Ooze set of 2 books on batteries brings to focus the hidden side of our everyday chemical and electronic products. Chemistry is all around us and when children become more aware and curious about different materials, their properties and their use, they will grow up to make more informed choices and use these materials safely.
The two Ooze books address the issue of toxicity of e-waste at different levels of complexity for younger and older children respectively. It is like reading two versions of a Birbal story at the same time. We believe that it fosters a sense of perspective and inquiry, so necessary to understand the "complete" story. Both the books are illustrated in different styles, again a way to encourage different ways of seeing
Filled with engaging age-appropriate activities that encourage children to analyse and explore, the Ooze books make a great resource on electronic waste. The answer sheet for the last activity in the book is available to download at the link below.

Great resource for students, professionals and anyone interested in understanding the value of informal waste sector in managing waste in urban India.
In 2009 Daily Dump began research to see if technology could help the informal sector. This publication is the result of 2 years of action research.
Daily Dump coined the term Recycle Guru to show how the local waste picker and dealer are actually experts and must be acknowledged as such. The report highlights the challenges of resource recovery of dry waste in urban Indian centres. In a simple to understand style it explains the involvement of different stakeholders and the possible future solutions to manage waste and provide dignity to the informal waste sector.
Daily Dump is still exploring the most valid leverage point to bring change to the way dry waste streams can be managed. It continues to work in this area.

Contents | cocopeat powder enriched with microbes |
Quantity | 3kg |
Usage | daily to layer kitchen waste in composter |
Ideal for | ensuring smell-free, stir-free composting |
Daily Dump Remix Powder is our magic mix, guaranteed to help you get home composting right in one try! It absorbs extra water, provides air gaps for circulation and keeps away any foul odour. It also hastens the process of decomposition. Made of cocopeat, microbes and mature compost, making Remix Powder is a labour-intensive process. We do it so you can save time! Making this Remix Powder involves breaking up blocks of cocopeat with the addition of water. The resultant moist powder is then fully sun-dried before mixing with microbes and compost in the right proportion. This is then packed for your use. Moist cocopeat is not as effective in aerobic home composting.
Directions for use
- Layer wet kitchen waste with 3-4 handfuls of Remix Powder everyday.
- No waste should be visible, this helps control fruit flies.
- No need for daily stirring.
- This 3kg bag of Remix Powder should last you about 3-4 weeks.
- Add Neem powder and Compost Microbes weekly to maintain healthy, optimum decomposition.
- Try the Keep Composting Kit for uninterrupted hassle-free composting.
Remix Powder has more volume than weight, which results in disproportionately larger shipping charges by third-party vendors. Rates at Partner premises include the shipping costs and this needs to be factored in while ordering. Please remember we are a small enterprise and shipping is out of our control. For those keen to avoid shipping costs, and who have the time and space to make their own cocopeat powder, you can try Daily Dump CocoBrick.
