Regulatory Compliance
Carbotura's ACM modular factories operate under manufacturing classification, not waste management regulations
Manufacturing Classification
Carbotura modular factories are classified as manufacturing operations, subject to industrial manufacturing regulations rather than waste management permits. This classification is based on:
- Processing feedstock into valuable commercial products
- Near-zero emissions and near-zero discharge operations
- Closed-loop system design with near-zero residual outputs
- Production of market-traded materials and commodities
Environmental Protection
- Near-zero atmospheric emissions
- No water discharge or contamination
- Enclosed system with APS technology
- Designed for virtually complete material recovery
Global Compliance
- Meets or exceeds EPA standards (USA)
- EU environmental directives compliant
- ISO 14001 environmental standards
- Local jurisdiction compliance support
Key Regulatory Distinctions
Not a Waste Facility
ACM operates under manufacturing permits, not waste management licenses. Circular Offtake Agreements classify materials as industrial feedstock, not waste.
Near-Zero Emissions Standard
Atmospheric Protection System (APS) is designed to capture, process, and convert virtually all gases into valuable products. Designed for near-zero atmospheric discharge.
Closed-Loop System
All water is recovered and purified. No discharge permits required. No groundwater monitoring needed for contamination that cannot occur.
Product Classification
Outputs are market-traded commodities (carbon, minerals, water, gases) subject to product quality standards, not waste disposal regulations.
Typical Permits Required
As a manufacturing facility, Carbotura operations typically require:
- Building Permits:Standard industrial construction permits
- Operating License:Manufacturing facility operating permit
- Safety Compliance:OSHA workplace safety standards
- Product Standards:Quality certifications for output materials
- Fire Safety:Fire marshal approvals and inspections
Note: Environmental impact assessments may be required but typically show negligible impact due to near-zero emissions and near-zero discharge design.
