Revenue model

1. Municipal Organic Waste Processing Contracts: Convertus holds multi-decade service agreements (e.g., 20-year contracts) with municipalities to process green bin and source-separated organics. Revenue is earned through gate fees charged per tonne of waste received, plus contracted service fees. Contract renewals and expansions (e.g., Ottawa revised contract, Southwold 20-year contract) drive recurring revenue.
2. Commercial and Industrial (I/C/I) Waste Processing: Processing of organic waste from industrial, commercial, and institutional generators (restaurants, food processors, grocery stores) at operating facilities, earning gate fees per tonne. The Surrey Biofuel Facility targets additional I/C/I contracts for higher biogas yield waste streams.
3. End-Product Sales (Compost, Fertilizer, RNG): Revenue from sale of finished products: Peak Compost, Peak+ Compost, EcoPearl pellets, Greenhouse Gold, Nutri-Wave organic fertilizer, and renewable natural gas (RNG) produced from anaerobic digestion. Products are sold locally to agricultural, landscaping, and retail customers.
4. Technical Services and Servicing: High-level servicing support for organic waste treatment plants worldwide, ranging from single annual inspection visits to daily tilling and 24/7 remote support. Includes helpdesk/emergency support, plant audits, remote monitoring reports, process optimization, operator training, and spare parts supply. Servicing provided at more than 50 facilities globally.
5. Design, Build and Construction Services: Convertus's WTT (Waste Treatment Technologies) subsidiary designs and builds organic waste treatment facilities worldwide. This includes new facility construction (e.g., York Region Biofuel Facility) and upgrades to existing sites (Ottawa capital expansion project valued at $8.5M).
