What this document is

The hub for Carbotura’s Circular Supply Agreement engagement with the City of Hillsboro and Hill County — six documents sized from 100 TPD at Phase Initial to 2,000 TPD at full build-out.

Three things this document says

Hill County routes roughly 100 TPD to a single dominant operator, with cost escalation on the operator’s own annual cycle.
The Beneficiation Fee is $100/ton; from 13 months after the first fee payment the County receives a Circular Royalty™ — $4.38M in Year 2 at Phase Initial, growing every year.
One Circular Supply Agreement, zero County capital, 25 direct manufacturing jobs at Phase Initial and 280 at full build-out.

Decision Window

Phase Initial COD is Q2 2028 — 24 months from a T0 of Q2 2026. Each month of T0 slippage moves COD month for month.

Deciding by Q2 2026 holds a Q2 2028 COD; Q4 2027 moves it to Q4 2029. Each Republic Services escalation cycle that closes first compounds the existing disposal cost without any offsetting royalty inflow.

Planning basis: volumes, costs and financial figures throughout this package are ESTIMATED unless a VERIFIED badge appears. The blended $100/ton FWDC spans three metro rate environments and requires audit at Term Sheet phase verification. Phase Medium and Phase Expanded depend on regional partnership volumes that are not yet contracted.
