Cities pay to get rid of materials. Carbotura turns them into the world's critical products.

Carbotura converts manufacturing feedstockManufacturing feedstockCarbotura’s canonical term for materials traditionally classified as waste — the sorted, classified input stream for Advanced Circular Manufacturing. (what cities currently classify as waste) into high-value materials — synthetic graphite, graphene compounds, recovered metals — with near-zero emissions and near-zero residual.
A municipality operates under a predicate of disposal — their materials are waste-classified, their contracts are with haulers, they pay to make the materials disappear.
Carbotura shifts that to a predicate of manufacturing — the same materials become feedstock inputs for a manufacturing process. The economic relationship inverts.
The materials don't change. The classification, the contract, and the economic direction all do.
Manufacturing feedstock enters the facility. 100+ manufactured products leave. The community receives a Circular Royalty™ on every ton — in perpetuity.
Cities generate over 100 million tons of manufacturing feedstock each year. Landfills are consolidating. Disposal costs are rising. The same conditions that built the legacy system are creating demand for what replaces it.
With 200–300 U.S. landfills closing in the next five years, municipalities are signing 20- and 30-year agreements to secure processing capacity. Predictable intake means predictable revenue.
Hauling manufacturing feedstock across state lines is the most volatile line item in a city's disposal budget. Long-term offtake agreements stabilize costs for decades.
Carbotura recovers synthetic graphite, graphene compounds, recovered metals, rare earth elements, and ultrapure water from the same material that used to be landfilled. Paid on intake. Recovery is upside.
The materials Carbotura manufactures from feedstock are the same materials that power the technologies the world depends on.
Clean, modular, near-zero-emission factories transforming manufacturing feedstock into critical materials for a sustainable future.
What if every ton of manufacturing feedstock your community generates became a revenue stream instead of a disposal cost? That's precisely what the Circular Supply Agreement delivers.
Traditional disposal — paying $75–$85 per metric tonne to make waste-classified material disappear forever.
Circular manufacturing — earning $112/tonne in community Circular Royalty™ revenue. Average over 30 years.*
The total swing — avoided costs plus earned royalty. For a city with 100 TPD: $6.8M annual benefit.
*Average in our payment range over 30 years

Legacy hauling companies don't disappear in the Carbotura model — they transition. Instead of transporting material to landfills for destruction, Feedstock Haulers deliver manufacturing feedstock to the modular factory for conversion into high-value materials.
The logistics function remains. The destination, purpose, and economic model change entirely. Feedstock Haulers become part of the ACM supply chain — transporting the most abundant, perpetually renewable manufacturing feedstock on earth.
