In one embodiment, the powder comprises 60-90 wt.% bagasse ash, 2-12 wt.% neem leaf powder, 1-10 wt.% tamarind-derived solids, and 0.5-6 wt.% natural adhesive, optionally with 0-20 wt.% builders such as soda ash or sodium metasilicate. The method includes collecting, drying, chilled processing, blending with soaked emulsifiers and additives, final drying, and packaging. The alkaline mineral nature of bagasse ash enables grease cutting and removal of food residues with reduced environmental impact, supports waste recycling, and promotes sustainable livelihood generation."
