CUBIA RECYCLING™

All Trash Is Not Trash.

We're Building the Infrastructure to Prove It.

A new model for local, decentralized recycling infrastructure.

Cubia Recycling is building a network of modular micro-material recovery facilities designed to move recycling infrastructure closer to the businesses, communities, apartments, institutions, and neighborhoods where recyclable materials are generated.

Our flagship platform, the mRCube Quad™, is designed to provide multi-stream collection, sorting, processing, storage, education, and material recovery in a compact footprint.

We founded Cubia in Indianapolis in 2021 with a simple belief:

Recyclable materials should be treated as resources not trash.

Now we're working to move Cubia from years of development into its first operating mRCube.

We're inviting investors to help build the first unit, demonstrate the model, and establish the foundation for a scalable recycling infrastructure company

THE PROBLEM

Recycling infrastructure was built for a different era.

Traditional recycling systems often depend on large centralized material recovery facilities, collection trucks, transfer stations, long transportation routes, and significant infrastructure investment.

That model can work in some markets but it can also create challenges.

Materials may travel significant distances before reaching a processing facility.

Businesses and smaller waste generators may have limited recycling options.

Communities without convenient infrastructure can struggle to participate.

And recyclable materials with economic value can still end up in landfills.

At the same time, municipalities, businesses, institutions, developers, and property owners are under increasing pressure to improve landfill diversion, sustainability reporting, and resource recovery.

The question is

What if recycling infrastructure could be placed closer to where the materials are generated?

That's the opportunity Cubia is pursuing.

THE CUBIA SOLUTION

Meet the mRCube Quad™

The mRCube Quad™ is Cubia's modular micro-material recovery facility designed to bring recycling infrastructure closer to the source.

Built around repurposed shipping containers, the mRCube concept is designed to combine multiple functions into a compact, scalable footprint.

The mRCube is designed to:

1. Receive multiple recyclable material streams
2. Sort and process recovered materials
3. Compact and prepare commodities for downstream markets
4. Store recovered materials
5. Collect operational and diversion data
6. Support contamination reduction
7. Provide convenient community and commercial access
8. Integrate automation, robotics, and AI as the platform develops
9. Support recycling education and community engagement

Instead of asking every community to build another massive centralized facility, Cubia is developing a model based on smaller, modular infrastructure that can be deployed where it is needed.

HOW IT WORKS

GENERATE

Businesses, residents, apartments, institutions, and other material generators produce recyclable materials.

↓

COLLECT

Materials are brought to a nearby Cubia location or collected through Cubia's service network.

↓

SORT

Materials are separated into individual commodity streams.

↓

PROCESS

Materials are prepared for storage, reuse, resale, or downstream processing.

↓

STORE

Recovered commodities are consolidated until sufficient volumes are available for market.

↓

MONETIZE

Cubia generates revenue through service relationships and the sale or monetization of recovered materials.

↓

MEASURE

Diversion, material, contamination, and operational data can be used to measure performance and support ESG reporting.

The objective:

Move more material into the circular economy while reducing unnecessary distance between the material generator and the recovery process.

WHY THE mRCube MATTERS

A traditional centralized facility can require significant land, equipment, capital, transportation infrastructure, and operating scale.

Cubia is pursuing a different architecture.

SMALLER

Designed to operate in a compact footprint.

MODULAR

Units can be configured and expanded based on market needs.

LOCAL

Designed to bring recycling infrastructure closer to businesses and communities.

TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED

Designed to incorporate automation, robotics, sensors, data collection, and AI-enabled sorting technologies.

SCALABLE

A successful unit can become a building block for additional locations.

The long-term vision is not one recycling facility.

It is a network.

WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED

Cubia is not starting from a blank sheet of paper.

Founded in 2021

Cubia Recycling was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana.

IDEM Waste Diversion Pilot Finalist

Cubia was selected as a finalist for the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's Waste Diversion Pilot opportunity.

Physical Assets

Cubia has acquired nine shipping containers intended for conversion into modular infrastructure.

Development

Cubia has spent years developing the decentralized recycling model, mRCube concept, operating model, and market strategy.

Market Interest

More than 100 commercial companies have expressed interest in Cubia's services.

The next milestone is different.

We now need to move from:

Concept → Construction → Demonstration → Customer Validation → Revenue → Expansion

THE FIRST mRCube

From concept to working infrastructure.

Our immediate objective is to complete Cubia's first operating mRCube.

This first unit is important because it gives Cubia the ability to:

1. Demonstrate the physical platform
2. Test operating processes
3. Demonstrate material recovery
4. Collect real operating data
5. Test customer workflows
6. Host potential customers and partners
7. Demonstrate the model to municipalities
8. Support investor and stakeholder demonstrations
9. Establish operating economics
10. Create local employment opportunities
11. Generate the evidence needed for broader deployment

We don't want investors to invest in a drawing.

We want them to help us build the first working model.

Over time, that data may support customer ESG reporting, municipal planning, and performance measurement.

WHO WE SERVE

Cubia's potential customers and deployment partners include:

MUNICIPALITIES

Cities and local governments seeking additional recycling and diversion infrastructure.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

Shopping centers, retail properties, business parks, and mixed-use developments.

APARTMENT COMMUNITIES

Properties seeking convenient recycling infrastructure for residents.

INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS

Businesses generating cardboard, plastics, metals, pallets, and other recoverable materials.

INSTITUTIONS

Schools, universities, healthcare facilities, government facilities, and other large organizations.

DEVELOPERS

New developments seeking integrated sustainability infrastructure.

OUR COMPETITIVE DIFFERENCE

Cubia is not trying to compete by building another giant centralized MRF.

Our strategy is to develop a different infrastructure layer.

The opportunity is not necessarily to eliminate every centralized MRF.

It is to create another layer of recycling infrastructure where centralized systems do not efficiently serve the market.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The waste and recycling industry represents a large established market.

But Cubia is focused on a specific opportunity within that market:

The gap between where recyclable materials are generated and where they are processed.

Every city has:

1. Businesses
2. Apartments
3. Industrial properties
4. Retail centers
5. Institutions
6. Construction activity
7. Residential communities

All of them generate materials.

Cubia's long-term opportunity is to develop a distributed network capable of serving those generators closer to the source.

Our strategy is to prove the model one location at a time.

TRACTION

Interest comes before contracts. Our next objective is conversion.

NEXT

First operating mRCube

Our goal is to convert market interest into:

Pilots → Customers → Contracts → Recurring Revenue

WHAT MAKES THE FIRST UNIT IMPORTANT

The first mRCube isn't simply another piece of equipment.

It is a validation platform.

A functioning unit can help answer the questions that only real-world operations can answer:

1. How much material can the facility process?
2. What is the cost per ton?
3. What revenue can each material stream generate?
4. What does customer utilization look like?
5. What operating labor is required?
6. How much contamination can be reduced?
7. What equipment configuration works best?
8. What are the economics of different deployment locations?
9. Which customer segments convert fastest?

Build it once.

Measure it.

Improve it.

Replicate it.

CAPITAL STRATEGY

We are raising capital to move Cubia from development into deployment.

Capital will be directed toward the activities required to complete and launch the first operating mRCube and establish the foundation for expansion.

PRIMARY USES OF CAPITAL

mRCube Construction

Conversion and completion of the first modular facility.

Equipment

Sorting, processing, material-handling, compaction, and related equipment.

Electrical & Mechanical Systems

Infrastructure required to make the unit operational.

Technology

Sensors, data systems, automation, robotics, AI-enabled capabilities, and related development.

Labor

Fabrication, construction, installation, engineering, and operating personnel.

Site Preparation

Preparation of the initial operating location.

Launch & Customer Demonstration

MULTI-MARKET NETWORK

The first unit is therefore more than a facility.

It is the first proof point for the Cubia network.

FINANCIAL MODEL

We believe the value of Cubia will ultimately be created at the unit level.

Rather than assuming that every market will perform identically, Cubia intends to establish actual operating economics through the first unit.

KEY METRICS WE INTEND TO VALIDATE

Revenue per location

Material throughput

Revenue per ton

Commodity recovery value

Service revenue

Operating expenses

Labor requirements

Customer acquisition cost

Facility-level contribution margin

Payback period

Return on deployed capital

Once validated, these metrics can be used to model additional deployments.

FIVE-YEAR EXPANSION MODEL

Cubia's long-term financial opportunity is based on replicating operating units, not simply growing one facility.

YEAR 1

First operating mRCube

Operational validation

Initial customers

YEAR 2

Additional deployments

Commercial pilots

Revenue expansion

YEAR 3

Multi-location operations

Municipal/institutional opportunities

Regional expansion

YEAR 4

Multi-state deployment

Network economics

Strategic partnerships

YEAR 5

Scaled network

Expanded revenue streams

Potential national deployment

Detailed revenue projections should be presented separately using clearly labeled assumptions and scenario ranges rather than guaranteed outcomes.

WHY CUBIA CAN SCALE

The mRCube model is intended to be modular.

That matters because communities do not all have the same:

1. Population
2. Material mix
3. Commercial base
4. Real estate density
5. Recycling infrastructure
6. Transportation costs
7. Customer demand

Instead of forcing every market into one large facility model, Cubia can evaluate markets individually.

One market.

One unit.

One operating model.

Then replicate.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Cubia's business model is designed around resource recovery and landfill diversion.

Potential environmental benefits include:

1. Diverting recyclable materials from landfills
2. Recovering materials for reuse and manufacturing
3. Reducing unnecessary transportation associated with distant processing
4. Improving material separation
5. Increasing access to recycling
6. Supporting a circular economy

But we don't want to measure success only by what we say.

We want to measure it.

The Cubia model is designed to collect operational and material data so performance can be quantified over time.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

Recycling infrastructure can also become local economic infrastructure.

A Cubia location can potentially create:

1. Direct jobs
2. Contractor opportunities
3. Collection opportunities
4. Material-handling work
5. Technology jobs
6. Maintenance opportunities
7. Small-business partnerships

The first unit will help us establish the actual workforce requirements and economics of the model.

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Cubia believes recycling infrastructure should be understandable and accessible.

That is why education is part of the model.

Through We Teach Green™, Cubia can connect infrastructure with education by helping residents, businesses, students, and community organizations understand:

What is recyclable?

Why does contamination matter?

What happens after materials are collected?

What economic value can recovered materials create?

Better infrastructure requires better participation.

WHY NOW?

The recycling industry is changing.

Municipalities are under pressure to improve diversion.

Businesses are setting sustainability goals.

Property owners are seeking measurable ESG initiatives.

Communities are looking for more accessible recycling options.

Technology is creating new possibilities for automation, data collection, and material recovery.

And recyclable materials continue to have economic value.

Cubia believes the next generation of recycling infrastructure can be more distributed, more measurable, and closer to the source.

Cubia isn't asking investors to believe recycling needs to change. We're asking them to help us build and prove a different way to do it.

THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Help us build the first Cubia mRCube.

Cubia is offering investors an opportunity to participate in the company's future through Wefunder.

Current Wefunder terms:

Early investment: First $100,000 under the stated early-bird SAFE terms.

Valuation cap: $4.5 million for the early-bird portion, as currently displayed on the Wefunder campaign.

Campaign target: $5 million.

The investment is not a purchase of a guaranteed return.

It is an investment in an early-stage company attempting to develop and scale a new approach to recycling infrastructure.

WHAT YOUR INVESTMENT HELPS BUILD

1. Help support the first Cubia mRCube.
2. Help fund equipment, construction, and technology development.
3. Become part of the community helping Cubia move from development to deployment.
4. Help accelerate the construction and commercialization of the first operating unit.
5. Become an early participant in the development of a potentially scalable decentralized recycling platform.

OUR VISION

We don't believe every community needs another giant recycling facility.

We believe communities need access to the right recycling infrastructure at the right scale.

A shopping center may need one solution.

An apartment community may need another.

An industrial park may need another.

A rural community may need another.

A major city may need hundreds of locations.

That's why we're building Cubia as a platform—not a single facility.

The mRCube is the building block.

The network is the opportunity.

ALL TRASH IS NOT TRASH.

The aluminum can has value.

The cardboard box has value.

The plastic bottle has value.

The pallet has value.

The electronics have value.

The materials we throw away are often resources waiting to be recovered.

Cubia's mission is to build the infrastructure that makes recovering those resources more accessible, measurable, and economically viable.

We're starting with one mRCube.

Then we'll see how far we can take it.
