Executive Brief
Jeddah — Phase Initial · Registry: registry-jeddah-v1
Hajj surge: 6,114 TPD → 10,700 TPD. 1.75× design basis. Every Hajj season without advanced processing is an unresolved acute infrastructure gap.
Opening
Jeddah generates an estimated 6,114 TPD baseline across seven material streams, surging to approximately 10,700 TPD during Hajj season — the largest single periodic waste surge event in Saudi Arabia. ACM at Jeddah is designed to the P90 surge basis, not the baseline average. Each Hajj season without advanced processing capacity compounds the compliance gap.
MWAN Mandate + Hajj Surge
85% diversion from landfill by 2035 — against a surge design basis of 10,700 TPD. No existing facility in Jeddah is designed for P90 Hajj surge. ACM Phase Initial addresses the baseline; full programme addresses the surge.
Port + Tourism Sustainability Mandate
Jeddah Islamic Port (400 TPD — ACCESSIBLE) and Red Sea Destination sustainability commitments require certified circular waste disposition. No incumbent advanced processor exists for port waste or tourism commercial waste in the Western Region.
Carbotura Phase Initial (100 TPD, Q4 2030 COD) addresses both gaps. Each Hajj season of delay is a measurable unresolved infrastructure deficit.
The Decision
Options B, B+Exogenesis, and Option A-IC (in-country premium on CB, Aromatics, CFP to SABIC and NEOM OXAGON) described in Proposal. IsDB Circular Sukuk alignment described in ICO Study.
The Circular Supply Agreement authorises Carbotura to operate an Advanced Circular Manufacturing centre at MODON Jeddah (Manufacturing Site Deed: MODON · CSA: Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), 100% PIF subsidiary). Two independent agreements — two independent counterparties. Jeddah Islamic Port stream requires a third, separate port authority agreement.
- Processing Service (Ijarah): Authority pays for a manufacturing and processing service per ton processed — Year 1
- Manufactured Goods Revenue Share (Musharakah): Authority receives a share of manufactured output revenue, 13 months after each corresponding Processing Service payment — from Month 14 onward
- Zero capital obligation: Carbotura designs, finances, builds, owns, and operates. LOCKED.
Surge capacity design: ACM at Jeddah processes at full P90 Hajj surge design basis. During Hajj peak months, all outputs scale proportionally. Carbon Black and Aromatics produced during Hajj surge are stable for storage and post-season supply to SABIC Western Region.

What Delay Costs
- One additional Hajj season without P90 surge processing capacity — the only periodic waste surge event of this scale in the Kingdom
- Jeddah Islamic Port waste stream continues without a processing disposition — port authority agreement timeline extends
- MWAN compliance window shortens — Phase Initial COD slips to Q4 2031 with only 3 years to 2035 mandate
- Forfeits one full year of Revenue Share at 6-module full programme scale
Call to Action
Authorise the Authority Feasibility Study — the single action that preserves Q2 2028 T0.
The Feasibility Study resolves:
- MODON Jeddah actual gate rates (WARN-01)
- MODON Phase II land allocation — 15,000–25,000 m² per 100 TPD module
- Jeddah Islamic Port authority preliminary agreement (400 TPD port stream)
- Nitaqat tier with HRSD (WARN-03)
- SABIC Western Region and Red Sea Destination off-take engagement (first ICO track)
- IsDB Circular Sukuk alignment feasibility
