Mukka Proteins expands into waste-to-value, scaling Bengaluru's wet waste conversion.

Mukka Proteins Limited has detailed its commercial roadmap and operational capacities for converting Bengaluru's municipal wet waste into high-value bio-derivatives using automated Black Soldier Fly bioconversion. The company's specialized facilities have a baseline handling capacity designed for phased scale-up to process up to 1,000 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) of organic wet waste, with current intake at 200 TPD, expected to reach 400 TPD by March 2027 and 1,000 TPD by December 2027.

The Black Soldier Fly larval stage achieves an 80% mass reduction of raw organic waste within a 10 to 14-day cycle. This process transforms urban organic waste into four distinct revenue streams: insect protein meal (over 50% crude protein), industrial and feed-grade insect oil (rich in MCTs and lauric acid), insect frass organic compost (odorless fertilizer), and humic acid bio-stimulants.

The company's initiative aligns with the global market opportunity for insect meal and lipids, projected to exceed $3.5 billion by 2030, and the growing domestic demand in aquaculture, poultry, and pet food. The organic frass and humic acid segment also taps into the global agricultural bio-stimulant market, growing at an 11%+ CAGR.

Furthermore, Mukka Proteins integrates these facilities with global carbon credit verification frameworks, adding verifiable ESG and carbon credit revenue streams. This expansion complements Mukka's existing animal nutrition manufacturing footprint, which includes over 2,91,720 MTPA of conventional marine protein/oil processing capacity.
