02The California project

An integrated handling facility, designed for the post-export waste market.

Operated by Cortina Integrated Waste Management, the project consolidates collection, transfer, sorting, and recovery on a single site — built to capture materials that previously flowed offshore.

01Site

Built around proximity.

The site is positioned to serve a regional waste shed with extensive existing collection infrastructure. Co-locating handling and recovery keeps inbound material moving through value-added processing rather than direct landfill disposal.

Management maintains active working relationships with regional waste haulers, providing a path to reliable inbound feedstock from day one of full operations.

02Build-out

Three phases, one operating thesis.

I2025 – 2026

Stand-up

Site control, permitting framework, and inbound feedstock relationships with regional haulers. Receiving and primary sort line commissioned.

II2026 – 2027

Scale

Add advanced recovery — metals, fibre, and targeted critical minerals — backed by the recently acquired recovery system.

III2027+

Diversify

Co-located processing partners, expanded jurisdictions, and downstream off-take agreements with domestic remanufacturers.

03Capabilities

A single site, four moves.

Receive

Inbound material from regional haulers consolidated through controlled receiving infrastructure.

Sort

Mechanical and operator-assisted separation of recoverable streams from residual.

Recover

Targeted processing to extract metals, fibre, and critical minerals at meaningful purity.

Reroute

Recovered materials returned to domestic remanufacturing; residual diverted under permit.
