🌼 Phool.co – Flower Waste Recycling Business Blueprint

🌿 1. Business Concept (Simple Explanation)

Problem

  • Temples dump tons of flower waste into rivers.
  • Flowers contain pesticides and chemicals.
  • Causes water pollution + bad odor + landfill load.

Solution

  • Collect flower waste from temples.
  • Segregate, dry, and process.
  • Convert into:
    • Incense sticks (agarbatti)
    • Dhoop cones
    • Organic compost
    • Natural colors
    • Biodegradable packaging material

🏗 2. Step-by-Step Setup Plan

Step 1: Choose Location

  • Target city with:
    • Large temples
    • Riverbanks
    • High religious activity
  • Example: Varanasi, Kanpur, Hyderabad, Tirupati, etc.

Step 2: Tie-up With Temples

  • Offer free daily waste collection
  • Sign simple agreement
  • Highlight environmental impact

You need:

  • 3–5 temples initially
  • 500–1000 kg flower waste/day (minimum viable scale)

🏭 3. Infrastructure Required

Small Scale Setup (1000 sq ft space)

Requirement Estimated Cost (₹)
Rental space 15k–25k/month
Drying racks 40k
Pulverizer machine 60k–1L
Agarbatti machine 1.5L
Mixer 40k
Packaging material 50k
Working capital 2–3L

💰 Total Initial Investment:

₹5–8 Lakhs (small scale model)

👩‍👩‍👧 Workforce Model

Best approach:

  • Employ local women (SHG groups)
  • 8–15 workers initially
  • Monthly salary ₹8k–12k

This increases:

  • Social impact
  • CSR funding chances
  • Grant approval chances

⚙️ 4. Production Process

Stage 1: Collection

Daily pickup from temples.

Stage 2: Segregation

  • Remove plastic covers
  • Separate fresh and decayed flowers

Stage 3: Drying

  • Sun dry for 2–3 days OR
  • Use solar dryer

Stage 4: Grinding

Convert into powder.

Stage 5: Manufacturing

  • Mix with natural binders
  • Roll into agarbatti/dhoop
  • Dry again

Stage 6: Branding & Packaging

Eco-friendly packaging recommended.

📦 5. Product Pricing Strategy

Product Cost Selling Price
Agarbatti box ₹12–18 ₹40–60
Dhoop cones ₹15 ₹50
Organic compost (1kg) ₹8 ₹30
Gift packs ₹60 ₹150–300

Profit margin: 40%–65%

📊 6. Revenue Projection (Example)

If you sell:

  • 500 agarbatti boxes/day × ₹40
    = ₹20,000/day
    = ₹6L/month revenue

After expenses: Net profit ≈ ₹1.5–2L/month (small scale)

  • GST Registration
  • Trade License

  • FSSAI (only if compost sold as fertilizer brand)

💡 9. Funding Options

  • Impact funds

⚠️ 10. Challenges You Must Prepare For

  1. Seasonal waste fluctuation
  2. Moisture during monsoon

🚀 11. How To Scale After 1 Year

  • Launch premium fragrance line

🧠 12. Unique Angle To Differentiate
