Structured for FMCG / brand EPR obligations
Brands obligated under EPR can structure the K-Campus BOQ to be EPR-billable — discharging part of the plastic-recycling obligation through in-house operations and reducing PRO offset spend. We provide CPCB-portal-ready documentation and quarterly reporting templates.

Common institutional buyer questions
K-Drum vs K-Thermo — which fits my campus?
K-Drum (natural, 15-day cycle, ~25-35% lower CapEx) for cost-conscious sites where compost can sit for 15+ days, or where pathogen-free FCO-grade output isn't required. K-Thermo (heated, 22-24 hr cycle at 55-65°C) for hotels, hospitals, FMCG plants where fast turnaround + FCO-grade output is needed. Side-by-side comparison →
How does this help with EPR plastic-credit obligations?
K-Campus handles the organic stream, which reduces total waste sent off-site. For the plastic stream, an FMCG client can pair a K-Campus with a small K-BPM 25 baling press to bale dry-waste in-house — qualifying for EPR plastic credits under PWM 2016 (am. 2022). See our EPR/FMCG breakdown.
What's the operating cost?
500 kg/d K-Thermo: ~₹3,500-4,500 / month operating cost (electricity ~₹2,000, inoculant + maintenance ~₹1,500-2,500). 1-2 hours of manual labour / day. Compare to ₹15,000-25,000 / month organic-waste disposal contract — payback typically 24-36 months. Run your own numbers →
Does it require civil work / foundation?
K-Drum needs a small RCC pad (typically 4×3 m for 500 kg/d). K-Thermo is fully wheeled — no foundation required; just a level concrete floor. Both need 3-phase 415 V power and a water connection. No drainage / pit required for either.
Compost output — can my landscape team use it?
Yes. K-Drum produces aerobic compost (15-day natural cycle) suitable for in-house landscaping or sale to nurseries. K-Thermo produces FCO-grade compost (Fertilizer Control Order standards) — pathogen-free, suitable for direct application or commercial sale. Both reduce waste-disposal cost AND generate landscape value.
Lead time and AMC?
Manufacturing 6–10 weeks ex-Manesar. Total project (DPR to commissioning) typically 8–12 weeks. 1-year comprehensive warranty + AMC from year 2. Engineer on-site within 24-48 hr.
