I spotted a compact electric composter a few days ago at a small business and it looked really practical. It was an Oklin GG-02 and I hadn’t seen one similar before so decided to track down the dealer to find out more about the unit so I could post about it.
A compost bin is a container into which you place organic waste to turn into very rich plant nutrients. You would throw in your leftover food, your coffee pucks, fruit peels, etc and with time it would get converted into compost which you could then use in your garden or your house plants.
I had only ever seen regular compost bins, ones that are just plastic or wooden boxes you put in the garden and fill in with waste. But what caught my interest with this Oklin unit was that it was electrically powered. The Oklin is a home appliance, you could place it in the kitchen, on a balcony or anywhere you want and just keep it plugged in. Whenever you have organic waste you just empty it into the Oklin and in just 24 hours it would convert it into compost. It can convert up to 4KG a day which should be more than enough to handle a large household.
If you’re interested in composting and looking for an easy quick solution I can’t think of anything more practical than this. The price is KD350 and the dealer is Advanced Technology Company. They don’t have a storefront so to enquire on the Oklin you could call or Whatsapp Zahra on 99912663, or email her at [email protected]
Update: The dealer for the product is now TP Green and the price has increased from KD350 to KD385. But on the bright side, they have a website which you could order the Compost and other green items from which you can check out https://tpgreen.shop

Man I’m so thick… never knew such things even existed 😅
Anyone interested can be shipped to GCC countries with additional shipping charges. The package is arround 28-30 kg only.
I assume you contacted the manufacturer? What’s their price without shipping?
Only interested since ATC is a reseller, not a dealer apparently (not listed on the website’s dealer’s list)
I wonder if it emits any bad smells, especially with leftover fish and meats
Generally speaking, when compost is done correctly (greens and browns mixed in proper ratios), you should only be able to smell fertilizer, not rotting food or garbage smell. I’m not sure if the lid also helps keep fertilizer smell in.
No bad smell! Looks exactly like a fridge. We have it stationed inside our office now to the heat and use vegetables and fruit waste mostly.

I contacted Oklin Middle East (Dubai office) who gave me the ATC contact
Sorry I meant this reply to Shajas. Good to know though!
Oh, well Shajas is ATC based on the email they’re using
Ohhh okay then. Please write a review if you end up trying it! Certainly can’t find any online 🙁
Hi! You can find the machine on

Mark! Thank you so much for sharing this information. According to recent studies, about 58% of Kuwait’s waste is composed of food waste, and the fertilizer industry in Kuwait is worth billions in import. Farmers need more nutritious substances to enhance quality of local ingredients offered in Kuwait. And we, need less toxic food to optimize our immunity. It only makes logical sense to start getting conscious of our behavioral patterns – it is, all connected.
It’s estimated that the per capita waste of Kuwait is 1.4 KG per day.
Every year about 2 million tons of waste is generated in Kuwait. That is equivalent to 1,814,369,480 KG. This is according to a not so recent study, so I do believe those numbers are underestimated.
The saddest part is: while we struggle to find landfills for such waste, countries like Sweden send less than 1% of their waste to landfills, capitalizing on the other 99%.
We really do need to start getting smart – feels like we are ages behind!
