18、ll be approved,and if our application is not approved by Nasdaq,this offering may not be completed.Investing in the ADSs involves a high degree of risk,including the risk of losing your entire investment.See“Risk Factors”beginning on page 16 to read about factors you should consider before buying ou
19、r ADSs.We are both an“emerging growth company”and a“foreign private issuer”as defined under applicable U.S.securities laws and areeligible for reduced public company reporting requirements.Please read the disclosures beginning on page 9 and on page 10 of thisprospectus for more information.We are no
20、t a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company.We have no material operations of ourown and conduct substantially all of our operations through the Operating Entities in China.Investors in our ADSs arepurchasing equity interests in the Cayman Islands holding company,and not in th
21、e Chinese Operating Entities.Investors inour ADSs may never hold equity interests in the Chinese Operating Entities.Our operating structure involves unique risks toinvestors.The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure,which would likely result in a materialchange in our
22、 operations and/or a material change in the value of our ADSs representing our Class A ordinary shares andcould cause the value of our ADSs to significantly decline or become worthless.See“Risk Factors Risks Related to DoingBusiness in the PRC”beginning on page 30 of this prospectus for a discussion
23、 of these legal and operational risks.As used in this prospectus,terms such as“the Company,”“CZTI,”“we,”“us,”“our company,”or“our”refer to CarbonZero Technologies International Inc.,unless the context suggests otherwise,and also includes its 100%owned directsubsidiary,Carbon Zero Technologies(Hong K

27、n Shenzhen”).All of our China operating activities are conductedunder our China Operating Entity,ABGreen Shenzhen and its subsidiaries.We do not currently use a variable interest entity(“VIE”)structure.See“Corporate History and Structure”beginning on page 59 of this prospectus.We face various risks
28、associated with being based in or having our operations primarily in China and the evolving laws andregulations in China,including risks related to the legal,political and economic policies of the Chinese government,therelations between China and the United States,or Chinese or United States regulat
29、ions,which risks could result in a materialchange in our operations and/or cause the value of our ADSs to significantly decline or become worthless,and significantlylimit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors.Because we operate in mainlandChina,the Ch
30、inese government has significant authority to oversee and regulate the conduct of our subsidiaries business andmay intervene or influence their operations,including that of our PRC subsidiaries,at any time,which could result in amaterial adverse change in our business and operations,prospects,financ
31、ial condition,and results of operations,and thevalue of our securities.Changes in the policies,regulations,rule,and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government mayalso be implemented quickly,and the Chinese government may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas orinvestments in Ch
32、ina-based issuers,which could result in material changes in operations and/or the value of the securities weare registering for sale.Any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that areconducted overseas and/or foreign investment and/or operations in Chin
33、a-based issuers could significantly change ouroperations,limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value ofsuch securities to significantly decline or be worthless.For example,recently the PRC government initiated a series ofregulatory
34、 actions and statements to regulate business operations in China,including cracking down on illegal activities inthe securities market,strengthened supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies,adopting new measures toextend the scope of cybersecurity reviews and data security protection
35、,and expanding the efforts in anti-monopolyenforcement.The PRC government may also regulate our operations by adopting new laws and regulations from time totime.Furthermore,the PRC government has recently made efforts to exert more oversight over overseas securities offeringsand other capital market
36、s activities and foreign investment in China-based companies like us.Any such action,once taken bythe PRC government,could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases,become worthless.As advised by our PRC legal counsel,Zhong Lun Law Firm,as of the date of this pr
37、ospectus,we have not engaged in anymonopolistic behavior and our business does not control more than one million users personal information as of the date ofthis prospectus,implicate cybersecurity,or involve any other type of restricted industry.However,we cannot affirm that PRCregulators share the
38、same interpretation.Because these statements and regulatory actions are new and subject to change,it isdifficult for us to predict how quickly the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies in China will respond tocompanies,or what existing or new laws or regulations will be amended or p
39、romulgated,if any,or the potential impact suchamended or new legislation will have on our daily business operations or our ability to accept foreign investments and list ona U.S.stock exchange.According to the Overseas Listing Filing Rules,we are required to submit the filing application to theChina
40、 Securities Regulatory Commission(the“CSRC”)within three business days after our submission of application forany overseas initial public offering and listing and complete the filing procedure before our overseas initial public offeringand listing.Any failure by us to comply with such filing require
41、ments or the Trial Administrative Measures of OverseasSecurities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises,or the Trial Measures,may result in an order to rectify,warningsand fines against us and could materially hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities,cause significantdis
42、ruption to our business operations,and severely damage our reputation,which would materially and adversely affect ourfinancial condition and results of operations.See“Risk Factors Risks related to Doing Business in the PRC”beginning on page30 of this prospectus for a discussion of these legal and op
43、erational risks.The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCAA,was enacted on December 18,2020,and was amended bythe Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023 enacted on December 29,2022.The amended HFCAA states that if the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission(the“SEC”)determines that we ha
44、ve filed audit reports issued by a registered publicaccounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the U.S.Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(the“PCAOB”)for two consecutive years,the SEC shall prohibit our shares or ADSs from being traded on a national securitiesexchange or in the
45、 over-the-counter trading market in the United States.The Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023 reducedthe number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three yearsto two years.The PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16,2021(the“D
46、etermination Report”)which foundthat the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered inmainland China and Hong Kong because of a position taken by one or more authorities in those jurisdictions.Furthermore,the Determination Report identified
47、 the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations(“PCAOB Identified Firms”).Our auditor,Marcum Asia CPAs LLP(“Marcum Asia”),the independent registered publicaccounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus,as an auditor of co
48、mpanies that are tradedpublicly in the United States and,a firm registered with the PCAOB,is subject to laws in the U.S.pursuant to which thePCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards.Marcum Asia isheadquartered in New York,New York,and,as
49、of the date of this prospectus,was not included in the list of PCAOBIdentified Firms in the Determination Report.On December 15,2022,the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December16,2021,determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable toi
50、nspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms.Each year,the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong,among other jurisdictions.If the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and i
51、nvestigateaccounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we use an accounting firm headquartered in one of thesejurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the SEC,we would be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”following the filing of the annual repo
52、rt on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year.There canbe no assurance that we would not be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”for any future fiscal year,and if we wereso identified for two consecutive years,we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA.Thedelisting
53、of our ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted,may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.These risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs,significantly limit orcompletely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer secur
54、ities to investors or cause the value of such securities tosignificantly decline or become worthless.For more details,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to the ADSs and this Offering our ADSs will be prohibited from trading in the United States under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or theH
55、FCAA,if it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect and investigate completely our auditor.The delisting of andprohibition from trading our ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted and prohibited from trading,may cause the value of our ADSsto significantly decline or be worthless.”b

87、epresentation to thecontrary is a criminal offense.Prospectus dated _,2024 LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER Dear Investors,Thank you for your interest in us.We intend to transform the entire renewable resources recycling business in China as we developand deploy our Online to Offline system(“O2O system”)thro
88、ugh online applications and offline sites in the traditional recyclingbusiness.Our goal is to establish comprehensive,digitized,and standardized waste recycling services,covering all categories ofrecyclable materials.As such,I am excited to share with you our proprietary technology solutions,scale a
89、nd financial performance,market opportunities,strengths,and growth strategies along with our outlook of the future.Our opportunity:to redefine an“overlooked”industry Chinas renewable resources recycling industry has grown steadily in the past several years.Chinas recycled renewable resourcesincrease
90、d from 283 million tons in 2017 to 418 million tons in 2022,with a compound annual growth rate of 8.1%from 2017 to2022,of which iron and steel scrap(waste ferrous metals)is the main recycled category of renewable resource.The traditionalrenewable resources recycling model mainly relies on scattered
91、offline channels.There is a difficulty of information asymmetry inthe renewable resources recycling industry in China,in which consumers lack awareness of where and how to sell used products.Intodays extended enterprise environment,the interactions between thousands of suppliers,vendors,and counterp
92、arties drive up costand complexity.As an industry innovator,we developed an O2O system by collecting and disclosing data on recycling needs on oursystem.This information enables professional recycling personnel to receive information and collect recyclable items at theconsumers doorstep,not only sol
93、ving the problem of low efficiency in information dissemination,but also providing consumers withmore convenient recycling methods,and achieving efficient renewable resource recycling.Our vision:to transform the recycling services industry The end-to-end process of renewable resources recycling invo
94、lves numerous steps and many different players,from majormanufacturing companies to individual service providers,and everything in between.Currently,the systems and information tosupport all these steps are highly disjointed,making it nearly impossible to obtain a comprehensive view of the overall p
95、rocess,thuspreventing companies from improving the process as well.We believe that we have prototyped a system that can be used to supportthe entire end-to-end process.We believe this system prototype,coupled with our proprietary technology,creates value for ourindustry,as it provides real-time spee
96、d and efficiency,tamper-proof reliability,traceability,and transparency for the whole recyclingprocess.Such a system could become even more important as connected devices are increasingly used to capture real-time data and,in the future,as artificial intelligence is used to predict and react to dema
97、nd.Our value proposition:an open system driven by supply chain capabilities and technology Chinas recycling business lacks sufficient structurethe recycling channels are fragmented and many recycling systems are idle andinefficient.We believe that building an open system driven by supply chain capab
98、ilities and technology and by creating a newinfrastructure defined by end-to-end coverage of the value chain are the keys to success in the recycling business in China.Our outlook:the future of our Company Our corporate culture balances stability and innovation,focusing on both the present and the f
99、uture.For the next three to five years,we plan to adhere to two strategic priorities:first,to pursue rapid business growth by enhancing our integrated system capabilities,and second,to expand recycling categories and integrate business chain verticals.One of the biggest obstacles to the renewable re
100、sources recycling business will likely be getting companies and customers tocooperate and collaboratecreating a common vision,developing common standards,and agreeing to build and use a commonsystem.Whether companies are direct competitors or supply chain partners,each has a strategic interest in ma
101、intaining advantagesover competitors and collaborators.However,we believe that our companys ability to create significant value for each player in oursystem means that every partner has an incentive to cooperate.We have developed recycling solutions with individual companiesthroughout the industry a
102、nd have seen compelling cases and momentum towards shaping the future of the recycling transactionecosystem.Partnership with our shareholders:creating long-term value and contributing to society I believe that a robust and sustainable business is a good business,but a business that does good for soc
103、iety beyond generatingshareholder return is a great business.We believe that the value of a business lies in solving social problems and creating socialvalue.If you share similar values and believe in long-term value creation both economically and socially,join us as we build a betterworld.Thank you

117、 our proprietarytechnology software and applications Boolv ShouShou and Boolv Collect.Currently,more than 60,000 electrical and electronicappliance sales personnel are registered in our mini-program Boolv ShouShou and provide waste household appliances and consumerelectronics source information.More
118、 than 33,000 third-party recycling personnel who perform on-site collection of renewableresources are registered in our Boolv Collect app,which allows registered recycling personnel to bid for and accept recycling ordersby connecting with suppliers on our renewable resources recycling online system.
119、In 2020,we launched our Boolv Sorting Centerapp for sourcing information on collection,inventory management,and settlement systems.The app is now used in third-partyrecycling stations,transit yards,and sorting centers,in addition to our sorting center.In 2021,we launched our recycling and disposal o
120、f waste metallic resources business,which developed rapidly and became therecycling category that contributed to the largest percentage of our revenue in fiscal years 2022 and 2023.Our business scopecurrently includes waste metallic resource recycling,waste household appliances recycling,consumer el
121、ectronics recycling,as wellas downstream services such as waste household appliances and waste consumer electronics dismantling and disposal.Our mainrevenue is generated from waste metallic resources and waste household appliances.In 2022 and 2023,our revenues reached RMB3.0 billion and RMB 4.0 bill
122、ion(US$0.6 billion),respectively,with a year-over-year growth of 34.6%in 2023 compared to 2022.Our Competitive Strengths Extensive Nationwide Recycling Network:We have established a renewable resources recycling network covering morethan 500 cities(including county-level cities).Our network includes
123、 approximately 2,970 third-party recycling stations andmore than 33,000 registered recycling personnel.This capability allows end-to-end coverage for connecting the upstreamsuppliers to the downstream second-hand sales platforms and markets and dismantling and disposal enterprises.We believeour netw
124、ork offers us four major advantages:Efficient Recycling:We allow complete on-site collection within 24 hours after users/suppliers place their ordersfor recycling,greatly improving service efficiency and establishing a leading competitive edge in nationwiderecycling services in China.1 Effective Sou
125、rcing of Supply:Leveraging the recycling service capabilities of our recycling network,we haveaccess to a vast supply of waste products nationwide,enabling us to establish a leading supply capacity.Full Category Business Expansion:With our existing network of third-party recycling stations,transfer
126、yards,andsorting centers,we can efficiently expand our services to include other recycling categories,such as plastic wasterecycling and textile waste recycling,thereby increasing revenue and profitability.Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement:Through strategic supply partnerships with over 15 d
127、ownstreamwaste dismantling and disposal companies and more than 10 steel production companies,we ensure seamlessintegration of the entire life cycle of renewable resources,from collection to disposal and dismantling.Tech-Driven Innovations:Through a combination of internet technology and offline rec
128、ycling networks,we have created adigitized recycling ecosystem comprising:Boolv ShouShou for collection of recycling information from registered users;Boolv Collect for convenient door-to-door recycling used by recycling personal;and Boolv Sorting Center for refined classification of the recycled it
129、ems used by recycling station,transit yard,andsorting center personnel to manage the collected renewable resources.Industry-Leading Traceability System for Renewable Resources:Our system provides key information such as productdetails,sources,destinations,and sales records,which are recorded data in
130、 the system,and technical support.Our systemenables unique Environmental,Social,and Corporate Governance(“ESG”)traceability capabilities for renewable resourcesrecycling and monitors and traces different processes of every business unit.Our objective is to collectively enhancecorporate,environmental
131、,and social value.We use our Boolv ShouShou mini-program to collect recycling information,including order sources,categories of waste,and quantity of waste.Recycling personnel will upload the collected information via the Boolv Collect mobile application.The recycling station,transit yard,and sortin
132、g center personnel use our Boolv Sorting Center mobile application to registerorder sources,categories,quantities,inventory management,and sales.We then use our Boolv Sorting Center application toallocate and sell renewable resources to the dismantling enterprises.The data collected from the above f
133、our processes formsa full lifecycle of waste household appliance products from the user to the dismantling enterprises.The Ministry of Commerce of the Peoples Republic of China invited us to share and promote this traceability system toother local governments,and we were invited by companies in the
134、same industry to share our system.Empower Business Partners and Create a Diverse Ecosystem:Given our industry knowledge and expertise as well asour business expansion and empowerment capabilities,we cooperate with numerous industry partners in the upstreamsupplier and downstream customer aspects of
135、the renewable resources recycling industry.These partners are well establishedin Chinas renewable resources recycling industry in logistics,environmental protection equipment,and dismantling anddisposal.Our Growth Strategies Our strategies aim to further grow our business as well as increase our pen
136、etration in the renewable resources recyclingindustry in China and globally.To accomplish this,we plan to leverage the strengths and capabilities of our renewable resourcesrecycling platform to achieve organic growth and to search for new opportunities to expand our renewable resources recyclingcate
137、gories and integrate additional business segments:Innovation Driven Growth Strategies:By improving our current applications and developing more widely applicabledigital tools,we plan to strengthen our technology innovation and research and development capabilities,increaseinvestments in digital tech
138、nology,and emphasize our research on data analysis,traceability management,Internet of Things(IoT)and location-based services(LBS),unique product identifiers,and digital supply chain technologies required by ourindustry.We aim to grow our user base and promote innovation and enhance capabilities of
139、our technology system andrecycling ecosystem.2 Online and Offline Customer Growth:We intend to expand our range of customer services through both online andoffline growth approaches.By establishing a larger network of third-party physical locations that integrate with our onlinesystems,we aim to cov
140、er more cities and connect with more upstream supply channels,such as towns and communities forsourcing renewable resources.We believe this approach will ultimately expand our downstream distribution channels aswell.In the next three years,we plan to add approximately 3,000 traditional offline recyc
141、ling stations and to expand to coverover 6,000 offline recycling stations.Expand Recycling Categories and Integrate Business Chain:Increasing revenue and enhancing margin are our topbusiness development priorities.We plan to continue expanding the scope of our recycling services to cover a wider ran
142、ge ofrenewable resources categories.These categories include not only waste metallic resources and waste household appliances,but also waste paper,plastic,and lithium-ion batteries.By establishing or acquiring a dismantling business,we can extendour business chain from“collection classification-resa
143、le”to include environmentally-sound dismantling.This extensionwould enable us to increase our gross profit margin,improve profitability and strengthen our value proposition in theindustry.For example,our recent investment in Hubei Jinke has expanded our business scope,including waste householdapplia
144、nce dismantling and hazardous waste disposal.We plan to increase the proportion of downstream disposal anddismantling segments in the Companys total revenue and profit,overall extending the Companys value chain.Strengthen Business Collaborations:We believe that connecting with a wider network of bus
145、iness partners is a key driverof our future growth.We plan to collaborate with major manufacturing enterprises to diversify our B2B sourcing network.Furthermore,we aim to establish partnerships with various third-party systems,including property management,appliancerepair,home cleaning,and charitabl
146、e foundations,leveraging their“at-home service”capabilities to expand our sourcingnetwork and user base.Support ESG Sustainable Growth:ESG principals have become a crucial concept for enterprises globally,and China hasimplemented policies requiring annual ESG accountability reports from companies na
147、tionwide.By supporting complianceand consistency with ESG principles in our business model,we believe we will attract more customers and businesscollaboration to support our ultimate mission of zero waste product solutions.Participation in Carbon Trading:In 2021,China launched the worlds largest car
148、bon emissions trading system,which willplay a fundamental role in reducing carbon emissions.We plan to capitalize on the data and information we collect via oursystem to accumulate carbon quotas for future profit growth by participating in international/domestic carbon markets.OnSeptember 11,2023,we
149、 have obtained a Product Carbon Footprint Certification/PCF Certification of Registration in thePRC from Auburn Inspection&Certification Group Co.,Ltd.Our Corporate History and Structure We are a Cayman Islands holding company and primarily conduct our operations in China through ABGreen Shenzhen,a

253、lication of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCAA,was enacted on December 18,2020,and was amended by theConsolidated Appropriations Act,2023 enacted on December 29,2022.The amended HFCAA states if the SEC determines that wehave filed
254、 audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for twoconsecutive years,the SEC shall prohibit our ADSs from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-countertrading market in the United States.The Consolidate
255、d Appropriations Act,2023 reduced the number of consecutive non-inspectionyears required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two years.The PCAOB issued a DeterminationReport on December 16,2021(the“Determination Report”)which found that the PCAOB was unable to inspect
256、 or investigatecompletely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong because of a position taken by oneor more authorities in those jurisdictions.Furthermore,the Determination Report identified the specific registered public accountingfirms which are subject to
257、these determinations(“PCAOB Identified Firms”).Our auditor,Marcum Asia,the independent registeredpublic accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus,as an auditor of companies that are tradedpublicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB,is s

259、termination Report.On December 15,2022,the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16,2021,determination andremoved mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completelyregistered public accounting firms.Each year,the PCAOB will d
260、etermine whether it can inspect and investigate audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong,amongother jurisdictions.If the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate accounting firmsin mainland China and Hong Kong and we use an accounting firm headqu
261、artered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an audit reporton our financial statements filed with the SEC,we would be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”following the filing ofthe annual report on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year.There can be no assurance that we would not be iden
262、tified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”for any future fiscal year,and if we were so identified for two consecutive years,we would becomesubject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA.The delisting of our ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted,maymaterially and adversely affect the value
