Fabbco to Expand Organic Waste Processing to Bengaluru and Beyond

23 Jul 2025 CW Team

“We will be executing the project in Bengaluru. Mukka Proteins will cover the capital investment and operational costs. We will receive 15 per cent of the total amount for carrying out the work,” said Latheef P A, director of Fabbco, adding that the company is also participating in the tender for waste management in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.

Based in Palakkad, the company established a 300-tonne capacity unit in Bengaluru and commenced operations about a month ago. “We are currently processing around 75 tonnes of waste daily. We have requested the local authority to ensure effective waste collection,” Latheef noted.

Fabbco had set up two treatment plants in Brahmapuram in 2023, using black soldier fly (BSF) larvae to process food waste following a major fire at the dump site. Initially, each plant had a capacity of 25 tonnes. In June, the combined capacity was increased to 100 tonnes.

“Agencies from other local bodies, including Chennai, have approached us to operate treatment plants. However, we are currently focused on capacity building. We use advanced methods in Bengaluru and plan to introduce further innovations in Thiruvananthapuram if we win the contract. Automation is essential for efficient execution,” said Niyas Parayam Valappil, project partner. He added that the company is preparing an extended producer responsibility (EPR) framework to standardise operations and enhance sustainability.

This expansion follows Fabbco’s successful management of organic waste treatment in Kochi city since 2023, processing 60-75 tonnes daily. Additionally, Fabbco exports fertiliser produced from treated waste to the UAE, having shipped 240 tonnes since April this year.

Following the success of its Brahmapuram organic waste management model, Fabbco is set to process organic waste in Bengaluru city. Mukka Proteins, the company awarded the contract by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), has entrusted Fabbco with the city’s waste management operations. The company also plans to extend its services to Thiruvananthapuram.“We will be executing the project in Bengaluru. Mukka Proteins will cover the capital investment and operational costs.
