TUESDAY MORNING - STARR HQ, CONFERENCE ROOM
Cassia sat at the head of the table. Orion sat to her right. Around the table were the executives: Victoria, Thomas, Rachel, David, Lisa, and James.
"Thank you all for coming on short notice," Cassia said. "Orion has a new project that requires significant coordination."
She nodded to Orion.
He stood up. "We're building a large-scale waste processing and materials refining facility. The goal is to collect trash from around the world, process it into refined feedstock, and use it to fuel our manufacturing operations."
Victoria raised an eyebrow. "We're going into waste management?"
"Not exactly. We're going into raw materials acquisition. There are millions of tons of waste generated globally every day—plastic, metal, electronics, organic matter. All of it contains valuable atomic elements. We're going to collect it, refine it, and use it."
David pulled up his tablet. "What kind of facility are we talking about? Scale? Cost?"
