Why Advanced Circular Manufacturing is 50-100x More Sophisticated

You can either build or expand your landfill with a forever liability, or you can add high-paying manufacturing jobs and receive a perpetual Circular Royalty for your manufacturing feedstock.

Ask your Citizens which they want.

The Paradigm Shift

Understanding the fundamental difference between legacy disposal models and Advanced Circular Manufacturing (ACM)

Do you want your city known for its legacy disposal burden or for its advanced manufacturing?

Legacy Disposal Model

Disposal and treatment services that charge fees to make problems go away

  • Full capital burden on community
  • All CAPEX burden to public
  • All liability on public
  • Creates environmental burden
Advanced Circular Manufacturing (ACM)

Material production operations that pay for feedstock to create valuable products

  • Zero capital risk -- Carbotura finances, builds, owns, and operates under the BOO model
  • Zero CAPEX burden to public
  • No liability on public
  • Zero environmental burden
Revolutionary Transformation

Transform Your Manufacturing Feedstock
Into Perpetual Revenue

What if your community could transform every ton of feedstock into valuable revenue instead of costly disposal? That's exactly what Carbotura's Advanced Circular Manufacturing process delivers through Total Material Conversion (TMC).

Legacy Disposal = Cost
Legacy disposal: paying US$ 75-US$ 85 per metric tonne under the old model
Feedstock = Revenue
ACM: earning US$ 112 per metric tonne via the Circular Royalty*

*Average Circular Royalty over the Circular Offtake Agreement term, beginning 13 months after feedstock delivery

Virtually Complete Material Value Recovery

Unlike traditional recycling that recovers 30-60% of materials or landfilling that recovers 0%, Carbotura is designed to achieve Total Material Conversion (TMC) -- converting virtually all incoming feedstock into saleable manufactured materials.

  • Near-zero residuals to landfill
  • Near-zero residuals or ash
  • 150+ different materials produced
  • Virgin-equivalent quality output
Complete Financial Reversal

The economic inversion: pay a competitive TMC Fee for feedstock conversion, then receive a recurring Circular Royalty derived from the value of manufactured materials -- beginning 13 months after delivery.

Legacy (Pay to dispose):-$75/ton
TMC Fee (Pay to convert):Competitive*
Circular Royalty (Earn):+$112/ton**
Net Benefit:$187/ton

*TMC Fee is competitive with or below current disposal costs | **Average Circular Royalty over COA term | For a city with 100 TPD: $6.8M annual benefit

What Gets Transformed?
Everything. Literally everything in your feedstock supply becomes valuable manufactured material.
Plastics
All types #1-7, films, bags, mixed plastics
Organics
Food residuals, yard materials, paper, cardboard
Metals
Aluminum, steel, copper, mixed metals
Glass & Other
Glass, textiles, rubber, composites

No Sorting Required

The Carbotura Protocols convert mixed feedstock streams. No need for extensive sorting, cleaning, or separation that traditional recycling requires. This means lower operational costs and higher participation rates.

Financial Transformation

Transform Your City's
Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

See how ACM dramatically improves your community's financial position -- turning massive liabilities into valuable assets while creating immediate positive cash flow

Example: 400 Metric Tonnes Per Day Modular Factory
Balance Sheet Impact
Eliminate liabilities and recognize your feedstock supply as a valuable revenue asset

Legacy Disposal Model

Annual disposal costs:-US$ 11M to -US$ 22M/year
Unfunded landfill closure:-US$ 300M to -US$ 600M
Total Liabilities:-US$ 450M to -US$ 900M

Plus perpetual environmental risks

ACM Model (Carbotura)

COA term revenue stream (NPV):+US$ 320M
COA term nominal revenue:+US$ 596M
Liabilities eliminated:+US$ 450M to +US$ 900M
Plus landfilled reserves become future revenue asset
Net Position:Zero Liability + Revenue Asset

Complete environmental risk transfer

Total Balance Sheet Transformation
US$ 770M to US$ 1.22B
From massive liability to revenue-generating asset
Cash Flow Impact
Immediate positive cash flow from Day 1 with inflation-protected escalation

Current System (Annual)

Annual disposal costs:-US$ 11M to -US$ 22M
Revenue generated:US$ 0
Net Annual Cash Flow:-US$ 11M to -US$ 22M

ACM Revenue (Annual)

Disposal costs eliminated:+US$ 11M to +US$ 22M
Year 1 revenue (US$ 100/ton):+US$ 14.6M
COA term average (US$ 112/ton)*:+US$ 16.4M/year
*2.5% annual escalation built-in
Net Annual Cash Flow Swing:+US$ 27.4M to +US$ 38.4M

COA Term Cumulative Cash Flow Impact

US$ 1.1B to US$ 1.8B
Total positive cash flow transformation over the Circular Offtake Agreement term
How The Business Model Works
1

Community provides the renewable resource

Your 400 TPD feedstock supply contains US$ 185-300M/year of recoverable materials

2

Sign a Circular Offtake Agreement (COA)

30-year guaranteed feedstock supply agreement for the ACM modular factory

3

Community receives the Circular Royalty

Recurring royalty beginning 13 months after feedstock delivery, derived from manufactured material value (2.5% annual escalation)

4

Carbotura builds, owns, and operates the modular factory (BOO model)

Takes all capital risk, achieves Total Material Conversion, keeps material sales revenue (US$ 185-300M/year)

Simple Analogy: Through the Circular Advantage Program, the community pays a TMC Fee (less than current disposal costs) and receives a Circular Royalty from the value of what their feedstock becomes -- everyone wins, but Carbotura takes all capital risk and operational complexity.

What This Means for City Financial Officers

Improved Credit Rating

Eliminating US$ 450-900M in liabilities while adding US$ 320M NPV revenue asset strengthens your balance sheet, potentially improving bond ratings by 1-2 notches

Enhanced Bonding Capacity

Stronger balance sheet and positive cash flow increase bonding capacity by US$ 200-500M for other critical infrastructure projects

Inflation Protection

2.5% annual revenue escalation built into the Circular Offtake Agreement protects against inflation while legacy disposal costs rise 3%+ annually

Transform Your City's Financial Future

Order an ACM Feasibility Study today to discover how you can improve your balance sheet by US$ 770M to US$ 1.22B and enhance cash flow by US$ 1.1B to US$ 1.8B over the Circular Offtake Agreement term.

Partnership Framework

The Circular Advantage Program

Carbotura's partnership framework that enables communities to become Feedstock Suppliers under a Circular Offtake Agreement (COA) -- paying a competitive TMC Fee and receiving a perpetual Circular Royalty.

Circular Offtake Agreement

30-year agreement with two core components: the TMC Fee (you pay for conversion) and the Circular Royalty (Carbotura pays you back). Replaces legacy disposal contracts.

The Circular Royalty

Recurring royalty Carbotura pays back to feedstock suppliers, beginning 13 months after delivery. Derived from the value of manufactured materials. Escalates 2.5% annually.

Build, Own, Operate (BOO)

Carbotura finances, builds, owns, and operates the modular factory. Zero CAPEX, zero liability, zero operational burden for the community.
