About - Marigold Solar Composters

We work towards a cleaner and greener future by providing effective, affordable and sustainable waste solutions.

The Problem

On an average, a typical household generates about 1kg of waste per day of which about 800 gms is wet waste and can be composted. About 100gms is dry waste (paper/plastic/cardboard) which can be recycled.

Only about 100 gms/day is reject waste (hazardous/biomedical) which needs to be sent away.

The Solution

We can make compost at home!

80% of waste is wet waste from kitchen & food scraps and can be composted to create nutrient rich compost (organic fertiliser) This means that when we trash our entire household garbage we are actually relegating an essential resource to the landfills.

By composting our kitchen waste, we are not only sending lesser to the landfills but also creating precious natural resource to enrich our soil.
