Pathways + Outputs

Pink Dot can route to many technologies and end uses.

The Pink Dot is technology-agnostic. It improves feedstock quality so each site can route approved residuals to the best available pathway based on local rules, facility specs, economics, carbon value, product demand, and climate outcome.

Potential recovery technologies

Not one pathway. A feedstock gateway.

Commercial composting

Returns nutrients and organic matter where accepted and properly managed.

Anaerobic digestion

Creates biogas, digestate, nutrients, and potential CO₂ capture points.

Gasification

Converts suitable biogenic feedstocks into syngas for heat, power, fuels, or chemical pathways.

Hydrothermal carbonization

Processes wet organic material into hydrochar and related outputs without fully drying feedstock.

Hydrothermal liquefaction

Converts wet biogenic residues into biocrude and aqueous/co-product streams.

Wet pyrolysis / dry pyrolysis

Converts suitable biomass into biochar, oils, gases, heat, and materials depending on process design.

Fermentation + bioconversion

Creates alcohols, acids, biochemicals, proteins, and other products from compatible organics.

Novel biowaste conversion

Leaves room for future technologies, vendor innovation, and regional optimization.

Potential outputs

Designed for high-demand products, not just waste diversion.

The same Pink Dot stream can support different outcomes in different places.

An airport may route food and fiber to AD plus CO₂ capture. A school district may start with pink bags and compost. A grocery chain may separate donation, scraps, FOG, and fiber. A city may route wet organics to HTC or HTL. The point is not to force one technology. The point is to make the feedstock cleaner, more visible, and easier to route.
