A global framework for the classification, quantification, and financial perfection of manufacturing feedstock assets under Advanced Circular Manufacturing. The standard that makes urban reserves bankable at institutional grade.
The Urban Reserve Valuation Standard (URVS) provides the definitive global framework for the classification, quantification, and financial perfection of Urban Reserves. Unlike traditional resource extraction, which relies on the discovery of finite geological deposits, Urban Reserves comprise manufacturing feedstock — polymers, organics, and minerals — found in active urban supply streams and legacy deposits.
This standard provides a proprietary methodology utilized exclusively by Licensed Practitioners to resolve the asset value of these feedstocks for institutional project finance.
The reserve does not deplete. The urban supply stream is continuously renewed by the community. Value is bounded by the 30-year Circular Offtake Agreement term, not by resource exhaustion.
All elemental assays must be cited against: EU JRC EUR 28582 EN (Municipal Solid Waste composition), EU JRC EUR 30663 EN (Waste-specific elemental data), US EPA WARM v15 (Material-specific emission and composition factors), and USGS MCS 2024 (Mineral Commodity Summaries, market pricing).
To reach "Perfected" status, a valuation must be anchored by a Circular Offtake Agreement (COA) or an equivalent commercial supply instrument. The COA executes the Economic Inversion: a community liability is transformed into a bankable asset. Four non-negotiable provisions:
