USB-C Power Supply?

I am attempting to setup a USB-C power supply for a PCB I am designing, but I am new and struggling to figure out how to ensure I can draw a sufficient current. From what I understand, if I were to connect the above USB-C schematic to my laptop (or some other power supply), I could expect to draw 5V/500mA (based on the chart from TI). However, my project needs a higher current draw than this, so I am looking to increase that. If I understand this correctly, then I would need to use a different component capable of USB3.0. However, I do not really need the added data speeds from USB3.0 (I can make do with the 480 Mbps from 2.0), and it seems like adding 3.0 support introduces a lot of complexity. Is there some other way to be able to draw more current without adding USB3.0? Any help is appreciated, as I am still quite new to all of this. Thanks.
