How It Works

Drop Your Waste
Automatic Process
Collect Your Soil

Simply add your daily wet waste into the appliance.

AI technology assesses and adjusts the recycling process.

In 12-48 hours, your waste is recycled into regenerated soil.

Environmental Impact

Every piece of food waste discarded from our homes triggers a chain reaction that impacts the entire planet. Leftover food tossed into bins leads to overflowing landfills emitting harmful methane gases, contributing to climate change effects like melting glaciers and rising sea levels. Household wet trash not only pollutes the environment but also disrupts ecosystems and endangers wildlife.

Frequently asked questions

What does installation involve?

Your Chewie arrives fully assembled and ready to work. Our white-glove installation team places it in your kitchen, plugs it into all standard outlets - and voilà: load your first batch within minutes. No tools, no sweat, no fuss.

How often should I service my Chewie?

To keep Chewie performing at its smartest, we recommend a single annual tune-up. Our technician updates your firmware, inspects wear-and-tear components, and calibrates sensors - so your AI always runs like new.

How often should I replace filters and additives?

Plan on a OdourShield Carbon Cartridge every year and a new Regen Additive every 3 months. We’ll send gentle reminders and offer auto-refill subscriptions so you never miss a cycle - because Chewie works best when you forget it’s even there.

What warranty comes with the Founders Edition?

The Chewie Founders Edition owners enjoy an elevated 24-month on-site limited warranty (versus the standard 12-month term). That covers parts, labor, and firmware updates - plus our concierge support answered in two rings or fewer.

What are the consumables for Chewie?

Chewie requires an OdorShield Carbon Cartridge (replaced annually) and Regen Additives (topped up quarterly).

When will I receive my Chewie?

For the initial release, only 1000 Chewie units are available, with deliveries starting in January 2026. We'll keep you in the loop every step of the way.

What is the cost of these Chewie consumables?

A standard OdorShield cartridge is ₹999. Regen-Soil additive packs are ₹349 each. For the first 1000 customers, every Chewie ships with a full year's supply of both an OdorShield cartridge and Regen-Soil additive packs. This means nothing extra to buy for your first year of use.

How do I cancel my ₹999 pre-booking deposit?

Your ₹999 is fully refundable up to 30 days before your scheduled delivery. After that, it converts to store credit toward any Chewie model or accessories - and you can transfer it once, hassle-free, via your online account or a quick call to our team.

Can I get a Chewie Founders Edition unit?

Yes, if you're a Bengaluru customer, you can secure early access to one of only 50 "Chewie Founders Edition" units, with deliveries starting August 15th, 2025.

Frequently asked questions

How does it become soil so quickly?

Chewie is not a dehydrator. Its ControlAI continuosly manages temperature, moisture, airflow, and mixing to keep beneficial microbes in their sweet spot, enabling rapid, odour-free bioconversion into Regen Soil (not dried scraps). Typical thermophilic composting works fastest around ~55-65°C with adequate oxygen and moisture; Chewie automates those conditions.

What comes out- and why call it "Regen Soil"?

A consistent, stabilized recycled soil. “Compost” varies widely with feedstock and process; “Regen Soil” signals Chewie’s controlled, repeatable output you can use for plants and gardens.

What exactly does Chewie control inside the digestion chamber?
  • Temperature: Holds the thermophilic “sweet spot” (~60–65 °C) for accelerated breakdown and hygiene.

  • Oxygen: Maintains aerobic conditions to avoid odours and keep microbes active.

  • Moisture: Manages to a mid-range optimal band for fast microbial activity.

  • Mixing & Aeration: Orchestrates the mesophilic → thermophilic → stabilization phases for consistency. (These levers; temperature, oxygen, moisture, residence time, are the classical drivers of composting quality.)

Will it smell or attract pests?

No. Chewie maintains sealed, in-vessel aerobic conditions with active ventilation and an OdourShield. Odors typically come from anaerobic imbalance; Chewie prevents that by keeping oxygen and moisture in range.

Where dies the AI work?
  • Vision AI: Recognizes inputs (veg, curries, oily foods, fish/ bones), flags what shouldn't go in, and auto-balances the carbon mix- no layering or stirring.

  • Control AI: Regulates temperature (~60-65°C), oxygen (kept in a healthy aerobic range), and moisture (kept in the optimal band), guiding the mesophilic → thermophilic → stabilization phases. (For context: composting stays aerobic when oxygen is generally kept above ~10%, and moisture is typically optimal around 40–60%.)

What is Chewie?

Chewie is an AI-powered, under-counter kitchen appliance that automates wet waste management. It converts mixed kitchen waste into stabilized Regen Soil in 8-40 hours; no manual stirring, no odor, no pests.

What can I put in?

Most kitchen organics, including cooked food and (smaller) bones. Avoid mutton bones and larger, coconut shells and hard seeds (mango seed, etc.). Vision AI helps flag unsuitable items like metals, glass, plastics, or any non-organics.

How is this better than backyard composting?

Chewie’s controlled, in-vessel process (with our enzyme additive packs) delivers a uniform, odour-free, biologically stable output, faster and more consistent for mixed Indian kitchen waste.

Is Chewie a dehydrator or "burning machine"?

No. Dehydrators dry or char scraps; their powder often smells again when re-wetted because it isn't biologically stabilized. Chewie runs aerobic, in vessel composting with active process control to produce a stable, ready- to-use soil.

Can Chewie's Regen Soil be better than typical backyard compost?

When you feed good-quality organics and let Chewie run its controlled cycle (with our Regen Soil additive kit containing amylases, proteases, lipases, etc.), you get a consistent, odour-free, stable, easy-to-handle soil amendment.

What capacity does it handle?

When you feed good-quality organics and let Chewie run its controlled cycle (with our Regen Soil additive kit containing amylases, proteases, lipases, etc.), you get a consistent, odour-free, stable, easy-to-handle soil amendment.

Does it need to stay plugged in?

Yes. Keep Chewie plugged in to the power and water supply, so Control AI can maintain conditions. Idle power draw is minimal.

Do I need anything besides wet waste?

Two easy consumables (Year-1 supply included):
RegenAdditive Pack: ~every 3 months (≈4/year)
OdorShield Cartridge: ~once a year

What's the warranty and service?

3-year standard warranty. Backed by our two-ring phone pick-up promise and dedicated helpline. OTA updates keep features improving

How does Chewie prevent smell and pests during processing?

By staying aerobic and in-vessel, with automated aeration and our C:N calibration system. (In proper composting, heat is microbe-generated and aeration carries off moisture as vapor- no charring required.)

How do I get updates or support?

You’ll receive regular broadcast updates and priority support via our helpline. Existing customers will also get referral access for the 2026 invite-only phase.

Can I see a demo?

Write to us at social@mankomb.com to schedule a visit at our Chewie lab to see our endurance units in action.

What's on the roadmap?

OTA features including batch intelligence (simple guidance like “great for ornamentals” or “best for acid-loving plants,” based on standard compost analytics), plus ongoing control and usability enhancements.

Mankomb Scientific Pledge:

At the heart of Chewie are two long-horizon R&D programmes:

  • A Vision-AI system that precisely recognises 23+ classes of kitchen waste in real time, and

  • A Regenerated-Soil science stack that determines the safest, most effective recycling pathway for every input.

We commit to rigorous experimentation, peer-benchmarked validation, and continuous improvement delivered through secure OTA updates. This is a sustained investment in science and engineering—measured, methodical, and uncompromising in quality. With the trust of our early believers, we are building a world-class standard for effortless, at-home wet-waste management.
