The linear economy was built on extraction — take, make, discard. The circular economy closes that loop. But a circular economy only The linear economy was built on extraction — take, make, discard. The circular economy closes that loop. But a circular economy only works if the infrastructure is distributed — close to the source, embedded in the landscape, hosted by the people who use it.
The co-op's distributed nodes are purpose-built for regional deployment and designed to be hosted on-site. Built into a shipping container, MF1 is designed to process 180 kilograms of tyres per day — turning technical waste into fuel, recovered carbon black (rCB) and steel. Designed for minimal site works, arriving as a self-contained unit. Off grid.
One on a farm. One beside a rural service depot. One at a transport hub. Each site becomes a long-term anchor node in a regional network that stretches from Townsville to the Torres Strait Islands.
As an Infrastructure Member, you're putting your hand up to host one.
Your site. Your region. Your part of the network.
What Your Contribution Does.
Your contribution registers your site as a candidate host location and helps fund the network's first build. The co-operative community votes on build sequence and cluster design — which regions come online first, how the reverse logistics routes connect, how the network grows. Host sites are confirmed through a Host Site Agreement once site requirements are assessed.
