Decentralised Resource Recovery

Wet Waste. Hidden Value.
Recover It.

A mobile, decentralized unit that recovers oil, biogas, and compost right at the place organic waste is generated. "Sustainability on Wheels."

Core Philosophy Recover Before You Process

Eliminates traditional transport bottlenecks by treating waste at the source, transforming organic waste into 3 valuable outputs.

Current Challenge

Organic waste is hauled away, piled up and lost.

India’s conventional centralized waste management model is logistically inefficient, hazardous, and leads to the total loss of organic resource value.

Transport Delays

High-volume wet waste logistics cause severe traffic, fuel waste, and high transport costs prior to any processing.

Severe Odour & Hazards

Accumulation during transit generates foul odours, public health risks, and attracts stray-animal hazards.

Landfill Dumping

Centralized dumping leads to massive soil and groundwater contamination, releasing harmful methane into the atmosphere.

Lost Organic Value

The rich organic and energy value inside the waste stream is completely destroyed and never recovered.

The Innovation

Three Resource Pathways from One Waste Stream

Transitioning wet waste from a disposal liability into three valuable community and industrial resources.

Oil recovery and reusable oil resources
R1: RECOVER

Oil & High-Value Output

Mechanical Separation

Mechanical separation executed prior to digestion yields usable oil and high-value recoverable resources from suitable waste streams.

Output: 4 – 10 kg oil / day
Renewable energy infrastructure supporting biogas systems
R2: RENEW

Biogas Energy

Anaerobic Bio-Digestion

Anaerobic bio-digestion turns wet organic matter into clean, renewable biogas energy, providing an efficient LPG equivalent fuel.

Output: 9 – 14 kg LPG equivalent
Organic food scraps being composted into useful soil
R3: REGENERATE

Soil Resources & Compost

Digestate Processing

Processing of remaining digestate converts waste residue into nutrient-rich compost and organic soil revitalizers.

Output: 60 – 80 kg compost / day

Waste becomes energy. Waste becomes soil. Waste becomes value.

Turnkey Proof-of-Concept

Baikampady Industrial Estate Pilot Project

Located in Mangaluru, this 1-year demonstration unit operates at a capacity of 200 kg/day. The pilot establishes empirical operational data required to validate decentralized recovery.

Estimated Daily Yields (per 200 kg organic waste)

Recovered Oil
4 – 10 kg
Equivalent Biogas (LPG)
9 – 14 kg
Compost (Digestate)
60 – 80 kg

What The Pilot Delivers

  • Hardware Integration: Modular R1, R2, and R3 platform fabrication & site setup.
  • Skill Development: Hands-on operational training for local operators & technical students.
  • Performance Validation: Real-time logging of recovery yields and operational efficiency.
  • Replication Blueprint: Documented findings to guide global decentralized deployment.

Future Goals

Lake Rejuvenation & Circular Community Value

Our future vision includes supporting cleaner, healthier lakes by reducing organic pollution at source and partnering with local communities, institutions and civic bodies.

Work with communities to reduce waste and nutrient loads entering drains and lakes.

Support lake-edge planting, native biodiversity and responsible wetland stewardship.

Build partnerships for cleanup drives, monitoring, awareness and long-term maintenance.

Explore sustainable revenue through CSR partnerships, restoration contracts, compost sales and verified ecosystem-service programmes.

Revenue opportunities are potential future models and would depend on partnerships, project approvals, measured outcomes and applicable regulations.
