How this site was selected: Mapping layers pair feedstocks with infrastructure, the matrix approach (industrial/hauling, feedstock variation, pyrolysis, space/expansion) distills the strongest candidates, and the 25-50 mile coverage logic keeps proposals balanced. Read the methodology.

Tip: open this in a new tab to zoom, then use it in meetings as a shared reference.
Center-of-gravity idea: If a region can reliably separate organics at the hub, everything downstream gets easier:
cleaner digestion/composting, better soil products, and fewer headaches in permitting and public acceptance.

Evidence & policy context
- Data & maps hub — ground each archetype in the baseline data, flows, and county briefs before pitching it.
- Policy & funding hub — choose the right story (CLCPA, diversion, EJ) for this system.
- CLCPA brief — tie the archetype into the state’s climate accountability framework.
- Food waste law brief — highlight the diversion/compliance rationale when organics are on the route.
