Cost per tonne (processed) is indicative for regional Australian facilities at modest scale (2,000–10,000 t/yr). Capital annualised over 20 years. Odour risk assumes appropriate process management — poorly managed systems score higher across all types. Source: Radicle Compost advisory experience, May 2026.
