About This Engagement

Why Clark County, Nevada?

Clark County operates the most vertically integrated solid waste market in the United States. A single operator — Republic Services — holds exclusive collection franchises in all four major jurisdictions, owns the only municipal solid waste landfill in the county (Apex Regional Landfill), and sets its own tipping fees without disclosure of its internal transfer rate to Clark County. This structural configuration has been in place for over 40 years without a competitive request-for-proposals process in any jurisdiction.

Carbotura's Advanced Circular Manufacturing (ACM) proposal offers Clark County a complementary infrastructure pathway — not a replacement for the current franchise, but a parallel manufacturing facility that is configured to accept community-sourced feedstock, process it through the Recyclotron™ reactor in an anoxic (no-oxygen) environment, and generate engineered RevCon™ outputs and a Circular Royalty™ income stream for the county from Year 2. No combustion occurs. No capital is required from Clark County.

The 2031 franchise renewal window in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas represents the first structural opportunity in the modern era to introduce a competitive cost benchmark into the Southern Nevada waste market. Carbotura's Stage 1 documents provide the intelligence and financial framework needed to evaluate ACM as a credible option at that decision point.
