Pathways

What Pink Dot material can become.

Pink Dot does not lock material into one destination. It helps route approved carbon-rich streams into the best available recovery pathway.

Conversion and recovery facility

Compost

Where the local system uses composting as the preferred outlet.

Energy + RNG

Including anaerobic digestion and other recovery paths where appropriate.

Biochar + hydrochar

For carbon-rich products, materials, and longer-duration retention opportunities.

Liquid fuels

Including biocrude, diesel-adjacent, or SAF-adjacent routes depending on the process.

Nutrients

Recovering value from organics and food-derived residuals.

Mineralized carbon

Where captured carbon can move into more durable materials pathways.

CO₂ utilization

Where processor design, purity, and economics support recovery and use.

Verified outcomes

Including more advanced climate or carbon-accounting pathways where justified.
