What This Means for Every Miami-Dade HouseholdQué Significa Esto para Cada Hogar de Miami-Dade
Here is what Advanced Circular Manufacturing does for every resident, every week, for 30 years.Esto es lo que la Manufactura Circular Avanzada hace por cada residente, cada semana, durante 30 años.
One bin. Everything in.Un contenedor. Todo adentro.
You put everything out in one collection. Food scraps, packaging, yard materials, electronics, clothing — the factory sorts it, not you. You don't need to separate anything before collection day. You don't need to know what goes where. One bin, and you're done.Usted pone todo en una sola recolección.
No sorting. Ever.
15–30 minutes back every week15–30 minutos de regreso cada semana
The average Miami-Dade household spends 15–30 minutes per week sorting and managing separate collection streams. That time goes away entirely. Every week, for 30 years.El hogar promedio de Miami-Dade pasa 15–30 minutos por semana clasificando

Clean water — from your materialsAgua limpia — de sus materiales
The manufacturing process produces ultrapure water as a direct output. At full scale, the factory is designed to produce enough clean water to supply approximately 2,180 households per day. This water can be used in industrial processes, reducing pressure on Miami-Dade's water supply.El proceso de manufactura produce agua ultrapura como producto directo.
~2,180 households/day water capacity
Energy from your street's materialsEnergía de los materiales de su calle
The manufacturing system is designed to produce around 45 megawatt-hours of energy per day at the first stage — enough to power thousands of homes. At full scale, that rises significantly. The factory is designed to run independent of the grid, producing its own power. This reduces demand on Florida's energy infrastructure.El sistema de manufactura está diseñado para producir alrededor de 45 megavatios-hora de energía por día
~45 MWh/day at first stage
No landfill smell in your neighbourhoodSin olor a relleno en su vecindario
The South Dade Landfill is projected to reach capacity around 2029. The WM Medley Landfill in the Doral area already generates odour complaints from nearby residents. When materials go to the factory instead of a landfill, those odour sources are reduced or eliminated. The factory itself is fully enclosed, with designed near-zero atmospheric discharge — meaning almost no smell or discharge from the facility.Se proyecta que el Relleno South Dade alcance su capacidad alrededor de 2029.
Enclosed. Near-zero discharge.
~175 local jobs in Phase 1 alone~175 empleos locales solo en la Fase 1
The first stage of the factory creates around 175 permanent skilled manufacturing jobs in Miami-Dade County. These are not logistics or sorting roles — they are advanced manufacturing positions with salaries above the county median. At full scale, the facility is designed to support around 1,750 direct jobs and 2,800 additional jobs in the local economy.La primera etapa de la fábrica crea alrededor de 175 empleos permanentes de manufactura calificada
~175 jobs from Day 1
Your materials become real productsSus materiales se convierten en productos reales
What you put out comes back into the world as manufactured goods — graphite for batteries, hydrogen fuel, metals for industry, water for infrastructure. Around 42–45% of everything collected is converted into a manufactured product. The rest is captured energy. Nothing is buried. Nothing is burned.Lo que usted desecha regresa al mundo como bienes manufacturados
42–45% material recovery
PFAS "forever chemicals" — permanently destroyedPFAS "químicos perpetuos" — destruidos permanentemente
Miami-Dade's materials contain PFAS — so-called "forever chemicals" found in packaging, textiles, and electronics. Today those chemicals end up in the ground at landfill sites near Biscayne Bay. The factory process is designed to permanently break down PFAS molecules in an oxygen-free, high-energy chamber. They don't go into the ground. They don't go into the water.Los materiales de Miami-Dade contienen PFAS — los llamados "químicos perpetuos"
PFAS permanently destroyed
Better for your property valueMejor para el valor de su propiedad
The factory is a fully enclosed industrial building — no open pits, no visible material piles, no odour buffer zones. Manufacturing facilities that produce clean outputs do not carry the neighbourhood impact of landfills or transfer stations. Property values near the facility are not expected to be negatively affected; properties near the landfills being replaced may benefit from their closure.La fábrica es un edificio industrial completamente cerrado
Enclosed. No odour buffer needed.
Fewer heavy trucks on residential roadsMenos camiones pesados en calles residenciales
Today, materials collected across Miami-Dade are transferred to large transfer trailers and driven to landfills outside the county — sometimes hundreds of miles away. The factory processes materials locally, dramatically reducing long-distance heavy-truck traffic. The collection vehicles that serve your street remain, but the secondary trucking convoys become largely unnecessary.Hoy, los materiales recolectados en Miami-Dade se transfieren a remolques de gran tamaño
Reduced long-haul truck traffic
Better for Biscayne BayMejor para la Bahía Biscayne
The South Dade Landfill sits adjacent to Biscayne Bay — one of Miami's most cherished natural assets. Landfill leachate (the liquid that seeps through buried material) carries contaminants toward the water table. When materials go to the factory instead of the landfill, leachate generation from new materials stops. Biscayne Bay benefits from every tonne diverted.El Relleno South Dade se encuentra adyacente a la Bahía Biscayne

Money back to Miami-Dade — for services you useDinero de vuelta a Miami-Dade — para servicios que usa
For every dollar Miami-Dade County pays in manufacturing service fees, Carbotura is designed to return approximately $1.48 in Circular Royalty payments by Year 30. That's ~$696 million coming back to Miami-Dade County over 30 years — money that can reduce what you pay for services, fund infrastructure, or support community programs. The royalty compounds and grows every year.Por cada dólar que el Condado de Miami-Dade paga en tarifas de servicio de manufactura
