Turning kitchen waste into green gold since 2009.

The Green Thumb began its journey by offering home composting solutions. Soon there were client demands to start community composting projects in housing societies — and we answered the call. Today, we have served, operated, and consulted over 250 clients on setting up and running composting projects.
