This is the dPRN — the Digital Plastic Recovery Note. It's a fixed sovereign value, not a market rate. Everything else in this system is derived from this number.
dPRN VALUE
£450/t
Fixed sovereign rate
Not a market price. Not a fluctuating PRN. A sealed digital asset value — the same for every verified tonne, every day.
PPT EXEMPTION
£228/t
Packaging tax saving
Verified plastic is exempt from the £228.82/t Plastic Packaging Tax. Compliance proof is sealed to every batch automatically.
GATE FEE SAVED
£100/t
Typical disposal cost
The typical gate fee for unverified plastic disposal — eliminated entirely when material enters the CircularOS loop.
Total value created per tonne
£778.82
dPRN £450 + PPT £228.82 + Gate fee £100 — before any fee deduction
The system creates value first. Fees are then taken from that created value. You never pay from your pocket — you pay from what we generate.
Direction 1 — What We Pay You · Supplier Rates
Three tiers. Volume decides your rate.
These are what we pay to suppliers — the businesses and collectors that bring plastic to Unit 18. Same-day. No invoice cycles. Volume determines which tier you sit in.
ENTRY TIER
Under 5t/week
£133/t
First-time suppliers. Small collectors. Trial runs. Cash in hand the same day you bring material. No commitment required to start.
Tier reviewed every 4 weeks based on rolling 30-day average. Move up automatically — no renegotiation.
Direction 2 — What Businesses Pay · Processing Fee Tiers
Five processing tiers. £60 to £260/t.
These are what businesses pay to us — retailers, manufacturers, logistics firms, councils — to have their plastic waste verified, compliance-documented, and converted into value. Volume determines the tier.
*Net value = dPRN £450 + PPT £228.82 + gate fee £100 − processing fee. ROI vs current disposal cost baseline.
Two Products · Not a Contradiction
Circularity Toll™ and the service fee are different things.
Both appear on public pages. Both are real. They apply to different client types and contexts. Here's the distinction, clearly.
PRODUCT A
Circularity Toll™
30% of dPRN value
Applies when CircularOS collects and processes your material end-to-end. Full collection logistics, processing, verification, minting. You do nothing except schedule the collection.
Collection + logistics included
End-to-end processing
dPRN minted and delivered
7% to community meals (included in 30%)
ESG report auto-generated
Best for: businesses that want zero effort. You book, we collect, you get compliance and value back.
PRODUCT B
Processing Service Fee
£60–260 /tonne (tiered)
Applies when you bring material to us or when we verify what you already have. The flat/tiered rate covers verification, documentation and compliance only — no collection logistics.
You deliver or we process on-site
Verification only (no collection)
Fixed cost — predictable for budgeting
£75/t flat (small volumes)
£60–260/t tiered by volume
Best for: businesses that already handle their own logistics and want a transparent flat fee for compliance.
The rule of thumb: If CircularOS collects it → Circularity Toll™ (30%). If you bring it or we verify in place → Processing Service Fee (tiered £60–£260/t). Both create the same dPRN value. The difference is who handles logistics.

The full circular money loop.
Every tonne that enters the system creates value in multiple directions at once. This is how the money moves — from waste to payment, from fee to covenant.

GROWTH PARTNER
Maximise Material Value
T3–T4 Fee
£150–200/t · 50–500t/month
Regular volume. Full compliance pack. ESG reporting. Account manager. The Circularity Toll™ model or tiered service fee — your choice of delivery model.
Note on the calculator: The landing page calculator uses the Circularity Toll™ model (30% of dPRN). The Circular Calculator uses the flat service fee (£75/t or 25% success share). Both are accurate — they apply to different delivery models. Use the calculator that matches how you want to work with us.
