Developed in Pune.
Built to go further.
In 2025, Green Thumb set up a processing plant at Narhe, Pune, designed to convert municipal wet waste into biomass briquettes.
That year also brought a startup grant from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and incubation through IIT Kanpur’s FIRST programme.

Before we begin
A good project starts
with the right questions.
Share your location, available waste volume and intended use. We’ll help you explore a suitable setup.
What are biomass pellets and briquettes?
They are compact forms of processed biomass used as fuel in suitable heating and industrial equipment. Their size and form differ, so the right choice depends on the application.
Can any kind of waste become fuel?
No. This process focuses on suitable organic waste. Feedstock quality, moisture and segregation need to be assessed before designing a plant.
How much can I save on fuel?
We assess this for your project. Feedstock, processing costs, transport, fuel quality and the heating equipment all affect the comparison with your current fuel.
Can we replicate the model in our area?
We welcome enquiries from entrepreneurs and organisations interested in setting up a plant. Contact us to discuss feedstock availability, space, capacity and partnership options.
Need a recycling system for your housing society?
