You can either build another landfill with a forever liability, or add high-paying manufacturing jobs and get forever payments for your feedstock. Ask your citizens which they want.
| Traditional Waste Management | Advanced Circular Manufacturing | |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Disposal services that charge fees to make problems disappear | Manufacturing operations that purchase feedstock and convert it into high-value products |
| Cost / Revenue | −$75 to −$85 per ton (community pays) | +$112 per ton average (community earns) |
| Capital Burden | 100% subsidized by public | Zero CAPEX burden to community |
| Liability | All liability on public — perpetual environmental risk | Complete environmental risk transfer to Carbotura |
| Material Recovery | 0–30% of materials recovered | 100% — Total Material Conversion by design |
| Emissions | Toxins, greenhouse gases, ash disposal | Near-zero emissions by design |
| Jobs | Minimal, low-wage hauling jobs | 100+ direct + ~300 indirect high-paying manufacturing jobs per 400 TPD factory |
| Industry | Sunset industry dependent on public subsidy | Sunrise industry — community receives Circular Royalty™ |
A long-term contracting partnership that transforms your community's largest liability into a valuable asset.
Your organization pays Carbotura a Pregenesis Fee of $100/ton for each new ton of manufacturing feedstock processed. Escalates at 2.5% annually. Typically less than or equivalent to current disposal costs.
Carbotura processes your feedstock through proprietary Regenesis technology, transforming it into high-value renewable materials including graphene, synthetic graphite, and hydrogen. Zero capital risk to community.
Monthly royalty payments start in Month 13. Year 1: 120% return (100% principal + 20% premium). Year 10: 129%. Continues monthly for the full contract term.
*Traditional weighted average of landfill disposal, WTE incineration, and recycling programs including MRF processing fees and contaminated material re-routing. All figures per ton. Subject to Circular Offtake Agreement terms.
Traditional model: −$450M to −$900M in liabilities over 30 years. Carbotura model: $770M to $1.22B total transformation — liabilities eliminated plus 30-year Circular Royalty™ revenue stream.
