Mukka Proteins Limited to Revolutionize Bengaluru's Urban Waste Management with 300 TPD BSF Plant engineered by Advanced Scientific Technology

PNN
Mangalore (Karnataka) [India], August 14: Mukka Proteins Limited (NSE: MUKKA | BSE: 544135), a leader in the animal protein industry has been officially empanelled as an Authorised Waste Processor by Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML). Under this empanelment, the Company will manage the collection, transportation, processing, and scientific disposal strictly in accordance with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 of 200-300 metric tonnes per day (MTPD) of wet waste, with a planned expansion to 1,000 tonnes per day (TPD). This service will cater to bulk waste generators categorised under BSWML guidelines.
This milestone underscores the Company's commitment to sustainable practices, environmental responsibility, and innovation in waste processing. The initiative is expected to significantly contribute to Bengaluru's waste management infrastructure, ensuring eco-friendly and scientifically sound disposal methods by converting city waste into high-value products like insect protein as an alternate source of protein supplements for fish feed and pet food supplements and organic compost.
This development follows national recognition for waste management excellence in Mangaluru, where the company's subsidiary, Ento Proteins Private Limited, operates a similar Black Soldier Fly (BSF) facility which is currently the largest unit at any municipal solid waste management site in India. The successful model in Mangaluru was recently praised by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, during his 'Mann Ki Baat' address, highlighting the effectiveness and innovation of the initiative.
In alignment with its expanded operational scope, Mukka Proteins Limited has proposed amendments to its Memorandum of Association (MOA) to include the following new business objects:
Expansion in Insect-Based Products: Formalizing the business of developing and marketing ingredients from insects for a wide range of applications, including animal feeds, aqua feeds, and potential medical preparations, backed by dedicated R&D to enhance production and quality.
Comprehensive Waste Management Solutions: Broadening the scope of waste management activities to include sourcing and processing of various waste streams (organic, food, agri waste) and offering specialized, environmentally friendly solutions on a commercial basis.
Manufacturing of Agri-Inputs and Soil Conditioners: Venturing into the manufacturing, processing, and distribution of a wide range of agricultural inputs, including organic and inorganic compost, humic and fulvic acids, bio-stimulants, and other soil conditioners to support sustainable agriculture.
Leadership Commentary
Commenting on this development, Mr. K. Mohammed Haris, Managing Director & CEO, Mukka Proteins Limited, said:
