A flagship brand of Prudent Eco Systems, Marigold Composters is revolutionizing how homes and apartment communities in Bangalore manage kitchen waste. Our composting systems are designed to be simple, efficient, and built for Indian households. We believe that every home and apartment community deserves a clean, odour-free, and sustainable way to handle organic waste daily.
Nearly 800g of this is wet organic waste – material that is easily composted at home or in communities.
Of the remainder, roughly 100g is dry recyclable waste like paper and plastic, leaving only 100g as true rejected waste requiring specialized disposal.
We can compost at home or within gated communities, turning everyday kitchen scraps into a valuable resource.
Nearly 80% of household waste is wet organic matter that can be converted into nutrient-rich natural fertilizer.
When organic waste is sent to landfills, it becomes an environmental hazard, releasing methane – a potent greenhouse gas – and even posing fire risks.
By composting at the source, we reduce the burden on landfills, restore soil health, and support a truly circular, greener way of living.
Composting at source is also encouraged under the BBMP Solid Waste Management guidelines for Bangalore.
Marigold Composters was founded with one clear purpose – to make kitchen waste management simple, clean and sustainable for every home, flat and gated community in Bangalore.
Our composters make this process effortless – no electricity, no foul odour, no complicated steps.
Over the past 10 years, we have installed Marigold Composters across 150+ homes, apartments and gated communities in Bangalore, helping families turn daily food scraps into nutrient-rich compost for their gardens and plants.
Our composting systems are built for Indian households -compact enough for a balcony, robust enough for a large gated community, and simple enough for anyone to use from day one.
Since our founding in 2014, we have worked with homeowners, apartment residents and gated community associations across Bangalore to build a cleaner, greener city – one composter at a time.
Our composters are proudly designed and manufactured in India, built specifically for Indian households and Indian kitchen waste.
Unlike imported composting solutions, Marigold composters understand the Indian diet – from rice and dal to vegetable peels and fruit scraps – and are engineered to handle it all efficiently.
We believe composting should not be a chore.
That is why every Marigold composter is designed to take no more than 5 minutes of your time each day.
No expertise required.
No special additives.
No electricity.
Just a simple daily habit that turns your kitchen waste into nutrient-rich compost for your balcony garden, terrace plants or community green spaces.
Today, across 36 customer sites in Bangalore, over 3,200 kg of kitchen waste is being composted every single day using Marigold systems – waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Whether you are a family in an independent house, a resident in a high-rise flat or a facility manager of a large gated community, Marigold Composters has a composting solution that fits your space, your lifestyle and your daily routine.
