## Customers

SusGlobal primarily serves municipalities, especially in Ontario, Canada, that need compliant disposal and treatment solutions for organic waste. The company also targets public and private market participants that require waste diversion, environmental remediation, and regenerative product outputs from organic residuals.

- **Municipalities** (primary) — Local governments buy organics processing and composting services to meet diversion and environmental compliance needs.
- **Public-sector waste programs** (secondary) — Public agencies and related entities use the company's facilities and technologies for waste treatment and landfill diversion.
- **Private waste and organics generators** (secondary) — Commercial and industrial customers may use the company's processing services for organic residuals and related waste streams.
- **Carbon credit and regenerative product buyers** (emerging) — Customers and counterparties purchase compost, liquid fertilizer, or carbon-related outputs tied to waste diversion.

- Municipalities needing organics diversion and compliant waste handling
- Public-sector buyers seeking landfill diversion and methane reduction
- Private waste generators needing treatment of source-separated organics
- Customers seeking compost, fertilizer, and carbon credit outputs
- Regulatory-driven buyers that need environmental compliance support

## Geography

The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and its operating footprint is centered in Ontario, Canada, including the Belleville facility. Its disclosures indicate a Canadian operating base with a U.S. Delaware corporate domicile, while customer demand is tied to local municipal waste systems and provincial environmental regulation.

- **Ontario, Canada** (100%) — Disclosures point to Ontario as the primary operating and customer market.

- Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Belleville, Ontario is a key operating facility
- Business is concentrated in Ontario municipal waste markets
- U.S. Delaware domicile for the parent company
- Operations depend on provincial and local environmental approvals

## Strategy

SusGlobal's strategy is built around acquiring, developing, and monetizing proprietary waste-to-energy and regenerative product technologies. The company also emphasizes integrating technology with capital investment to optimize organics processing, expand compliant waste handling capacity, and convert waste streams into marketable outputs such as compost, liquid fertilizer, and carbon credits.

- **Restore and upgrade facility operations** (short-term) — Operating capacity drives waste acceptance, service revenue, and downstream product output.
- **Secure funding for capital needs** (short-term) — The business model requires investment to complete repairs, compliance work, and facility reopening.
- **Monetize regenerative outputs** (medium-term) — Compost, liquid fertilizer, and carbon credits diversify revenue beyond tipping fees.
- **Build a portfolio of waste-to-energy technologies** (long-term) — Proprietary technologies can improve processing economics and create licensing or operating value.

- Develop proprietary waste-to-energy and regenerative technologies
- Integrate technology with capital investment at processing sites
- Expand organics diversion and methane avoidance capabilities
- Monetize compost, fertilizer, and carbon credit outputs
- Reopen and upgrade operating facilities to restore throughput

## Risks

The company faces material operational and regulatory risk because its Belleville facility has been subject to compliance orders and waste acceptance has been interrupted. It also has going-concern uncertainty, funding dependence, and exposure to environmental remediation and equipment repair costs, while the broader organics-processing industry is sensitive to permitting, contamination, and commodity-like pricing for waste services and byproducts.

- **Belleville facility compliance and operational disruption** [critical] — The company ceased accepting waste after regulatory orders, reducing core processing activity and revenue.
- **Going-concern and financing risk** [critical] — Auditors expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, indicating reliance on new capital.
- **Environmental remediation and permitting risk** [high] — Waste facilities require ongoing compliance, approvals, and remediation work that can delay operations and increase costs.
- **Revenue concentration** [high] — The business appears dependent on a limited number of facilities and municipal customers, increasing volatility.
- **Commodity and byproduct pricing risk** [medium] — Compost, fertilizer, and carbon credit sales can fluctuate with market demand and policy conditions.

- Facility shutdown or restricted operations can eliminate tipping-fee revenue
- Environmental compliance orders can require costly repairs and remediation
- Going-concern uncertainty reflects dependence on external funding
- Revenue is small and concentrated in a single operating facility
- Carbon credit and byproduct sales can be volatile and hard to scale

## Accounting

Key accounting judgments include impairment testing for long-lived and intangible assets, fair value measurement of convertible promissory notes, and estimation of environmental remediation costs. Revenue can also be highly seasonal and facility-dependent, with small changes in waste acceptance or carbon credit sales materially affecting quarterly results.

- **Long-lived asset and intangible asset impairment** — Belleville facility and related assets
- **Environmental remediation provisions** — Operating expenses and liabilities
- **Fair value accounting for convertible promissory notes** — Other income/expense and net loss
- **Revenue recognition for tipping fees and carbon credits** — Quarterly comparability and revenue volatility

- Impairment of facility and intangible assets can materially affect carrying values
- Convertible notes are marked to fair value, creating earnings volatility
- Environmental remediation accruals depend on management estimates
- Stock-based compensation affects reported operating expenses
- Revenue timing depends on waste acceptance and carbon credit sales
