Carbon Recycling Pink Dot™

A label, bag, signage, and site-protocol system for turning approved recent-biogenic residuals into cleaner feedstock supply chains for compost, AD, gasification, HTC, HTL, pyrolysis, SAF, diesel, biocrude, materials, nutrients, CO₂ capture, and CDR-ready pathways.

Public rule: Look for the Pink Dot. Match the bin, bag, or site instruction.

The category shift

Pink Dot is not one disposal pathway. It is a cleaner feedstock interface.

Composting remains valuable. Donation and edible food recovery should come first where applicable. But once material becomes a residual, the Pink Dot system helps identify, separate, bag, route, and measure the stream so each site can send it to the best available end use: nutrients, energy, fuels, materials, carbon products, CO₂ capture, or durable carbon removal.

One mark

A visible pink CO₂ dot identifies approved items, components, and streams.

Low capex

Start with labels, stickers, pink bags, signage, and existing bins before adding new infrastructure.

Many pathways

Route to compost, AD, gasification, HTC, HTL, pyrolysis, fuels, materials, nutrients, or CDR.

Controlled first

Prioritize airports, QSRs, schools, campuses, grocery, stadiums, and other managed environments.

Stakeholder system

One label that connects package, food hierarchy, bin, bag, hauler, facility, product buyer, and carbon pathway.

Packaging Brands

Put carbon recovery instructions directly on the package.

Submit specs, identify eligible components, receive Pink Dot label guidance, and reduce consumer guessing at the source.

Material Suppliers + Converters

Design for site-approved carbon recovery.

Align fiber, food-serviceware, coatings, compostables, bio-based materials, and components with downstream recovery specifications.

Retail + Grocery

Separate donation, edible surplus, scraps, fiber, and back-of-house streams.

Prepared foods, produce, cafés, pizza boxes, paper fiber, FOG, and back-of-house prep waste can be mapped into one coherent site system.

QSRs + Food Chains

Make sorting simple for customers and staff.

Cups, sleeves, napkins, food boxes, pizza boxes, fiber trays, scraps, leftovers, grease, and exclusions can be marked at the item/component level.

Airports + Controlled Venues

Create visible carbon recovery infrastructure without rebuilding the facility.

Use labels, Pink Dot stickers, pink bags, signage, carts, and existing bin stations before major capex or new permanent infrastructure.

Haulers

Collect cleaner streams for many end markets.

Pink Dot bags, bin overlays, route-level labels, contamination audits, and destination records create a better handoff from public space to processors.

Conversion + Recovery Facilities

Improve feedstock supply for high-demand products.

Clean streams can support AD, gasification, HTC, HTL, pyrolysis, composting, biocrude, SAF, diesel, RNG, biochar, nutrients, and materials.

Cities + CDR Buyers

Connect public behavior to climate, waste, and product outcomes.

Municipal systems, climate programs, carbon buyers, fuel buyers, material buyers, and registry partners can coordinate around one visible consumer interface.
