The Company
Chuck Waste, Inc. (Woodchuck.AI® | Chuck®) combines physical material-recovery operations with AI-powered material identification to capture construction materials at the source, recover their value, redirect them toward their highest-value next use, and provide an auditable digital chain of custody verifying the material flow and environmental attributes.
CAPTURE -> VERIFY -> RECOVER -> TRANSFORM
Woodchuck AI Explained in 90 Seconds
Executive Summary
Woodchuck.AI is building the circular material infrastructure behind America's next generation of large-scale construction.
The company operates the physical material recovery process and the software platform that records it. Because Woodchuck.AI is present where materials are generated and moved, it can capture operational data that software-only reporting systems and traditional waste haulers may not capture consistently. That data feeds an auditable digital chain of custody showing what material was identified, where it originated, how it moved, and where it ultimately went.
Woodchuck.AI's core business is waste diversion and material recovery across wood, cardboard, plastic, metal, concrete, asphalt, and other construction materials. Recovered wood creates an additional path for value creation through biomass, biochar, energy and potentially new construction materials.
Rather than treating construction waste as an end product to be hauled away, Woodchuck.AI treats every dumpster as material, data, and potential value.
Investment Highlights
- Substantial revenue growth: from $58,888 in FY 2024 to $2.4M in FY2025 - with management projecting $18M in 2026, $52.8M in 2027, and $84.6M in 2028.*
- Major data-center traction: approximately $7 million in total contracted scope (multi-year contract value, not yet fully recognized as revenue) on a major Michigan data-center development across multiple construction waste streams. Woodchuck.AI recognized total company revenue of $2.4 million in FY 2025.
- Proven field economics: at Ford BlueOval Battery Park, Woodchuck.AI reports 9,000 tons diverted, 8,000 tons of wood recovered, $1.8 million in client savings, $1.2 million in project operating profit, 38% lower client cost, and a 40% project operating margin,* as reported by the Company in its own project sustainability report; these figures have not been independently audited or verified.
- Integrated physical + digital model: Woodchuck.AI combines onsite material-recovery operations with AI and a digital chain of custody, creating proprietary data around construction material flows.
- Job-site presence with major end markets: Woodchuck.AI's material recovery work spans job sites for major companies including Google, Amazon, and Ford, working alongside national general contractors.
- Transformation upside: recovered wood can move beyond diversion into biomass, biochar, energy, and beneficial reuse.
- Scalable regional model: mobile processing and pyrolysis equipment can be deployed across multiple projects rather than permanently isolated at a single site.
- Capital tied to execution: the broader financing described in the source material is intended to mobilize awarded and emerging project opportunities - not to search for product-market fit. *Woodchuck.ai, Final Project Sustainability Report, May 2026.
The Problem
Construction and demolition generate more than 600 million tons of debris annually in the United States**. The problem is not simply volume. Once materials are mixed together, much of their potential value can disappear.
Recovering value requires identifying and separating materials at the source, documenting what happened to them, and connecting each stream to a reliable downstream destination.
Every dumpster holds material.
Every job site generates data.
Every ton holds value.

The Woodchuck.AI Solution
CAPTURE - Materials are identified and separated at the construction site.
VERIFY - Material type, imagery, location, and movement are digitally recorded, creating a verifiable chain of custody.
RECOVER - Materials are routed toward their highest-value available destination.
TRANSFORM - Recovered materials can become new resources, including biomass, biochar, energy, and new construction materials.
Physical infrastructure + AI + proprietary material data.
Why the Integrated Model Matters
Traditional waste hauling and software reporting solve different pieces of the problem. Woodchuck.AI combines them. Its physical role at the job site creates access to source-level material information; its software layer turns those operating events into a digital record for customers.
That combination can create a reinforcing advantage: more projects generate more material-flow data, while the operational network creates a capability that a software-only platform cannot easily replicate.
THE MOAT IS THE INTEGRATED SYSTEM
Material intelligence + onsite operations + processing + chain of custody + downstream transformation.
From Waste Diversion to Material Transformation
Biochar is not the starting point of the Woodchuck.AI story. It is an extension of the material-recovery platform.
Wood recovered from construction projects can be processed into biomass and further converted into biochar and energy. Where technically and commercially applicable, qualified biochar may also create pathways into concrete and other built-environment applications.
Waste -> Verified Materials -> Biomass -> Biochar -> Energy/ New Construction
This extends Woodchuck.AI from recovery into transformation and increases the potential value captured from material that would otherwise be treated as waste.
Current Projects & Growth
Major Data-Center Development - Michigan
Woodchuck.AI has approximately $7 million in total contracted scope (multi-year contract value, not yet fully recognized as revenue) across multiple construction waste streams, including wood, cardboard, plastic, and other construction materials. Woodchuck.AI recognized total company revenue of $2.4 million in FY2025.
Expanding Data-Center Opportunities
Building on current contracted work, Woodchuck.AI is developing additional opportunities across major U.S. data-center and infrastructure projects. Onsite biochar production is being evaluated as an additional capability.
Ford BlueOval Battery Park
Woodchuck.AI reports 9,000 tons diverted, 8,000 tons of wood recovered, $1.8 million in client savings, $1.2 million in project operating profit, 38% lower client cost, and a 40% project operating margin*, as reported by the Company in its own project sustainability report; these figures have not been independently audited or verified.
Waste less. Spend less. Earn more.
Business Model & Competitive Position
Woodchuck.AI operates at the intersection of construction operations, material recovery, AI and energy. It captures value across onsite separation and diversion, material processing, data verification, and downstream transformation.
Woodchuck.AI works with incumbent national waste haulers, including subcontracting local hauling, rather than requiring the company to replicate every hauling asset itself. This supports an asset-aware model in which Woodchuck.AI focuses on the operating system, recovery process, data layer, and higher-value material pathways.
Management believes there is currently no other company operating at the intersection of job-site materials diversion and auditable digital chain-of-custody tracking in the same manner, while acknowledging that competitors may develop similar capabilities.
Expansion Strategy
Woodchuck.AI's strategy is to build regional networks rather than deploy permanently isolated processing equipment at individual sites. Pyrolysis and related processing systems can be deployed for the applicable phase of a project and subsequently redeployed, allowing equipment investment to support multiple contracts over its useful life.
As additional contracts are awarded, the company expects that a growing portion of future expansion could potentially be financed through project and equipment debt rather than repeated equity issuance.

Market Opportunity
Woodchuck.AI is targeting large commercial construction and infrastructure programs where material volume, disposal cost, sustainability requirements, and reporting complexity create demand for better diversion and verification.
The company's ambition is not simply to manage construction waste. It is to create a circular material network that captures, verifies, recovers, and transforms materials across projects and regions.
The Opportunity
The New America is being built
AI is transforming how the world computes. Data centers and infrastructure investment are transforming how America builds. Woodchuck.AI is building the circular material infrastructure behind that growth.
The company has moved beyond proving the core material recovery model. It is generating revenue, operating in the field, and expanding into major infrastructure projects. The next evolution extends the platform from recovery to transformation, turning recovered materials into higher-value resources while creating new pathways for circular construction.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an estimated 600 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) debris were generated in the United States in 2018 - the most recent year for which EPA has published national estimates - with approximately 144 million tons sent to landfills***.
