How We Verify · Midland Polymer Trading

The six-step verification process

When your plastic arrives at Unit 18, it goes through a six-step process before payment is released. Each step is recorded and tied to your receipt and deed.

Step 1 Arrival & logging Your delivery is received at Unit 18. Supplier name, date, and time are recorded on arrival.

Step 2 Polymer check Material is checked to confirm it is a single polymer type. Mixed plastic is not accepted.

Step 3 Weight recorded The delivery is weighed on-site. Weight is recorded in tonnes to two decimal places.

Step 4 Deed minted A Digital Plastic Recovery Note is created at £450 per tonne, with a unique SHA-256 hash.

Step 5 Payment released £200 same-day payment is released to the supplier. No delay. No conditions beyond acceptance.

Step 6 40 meals funded Every tonne automatically funds 40 community meals. Recorded on the Life Ledger.

What we confirm before paying

✓ Single polymer type only — HDPE, PET, or PP. We do not accept mixed plastic or contaminated loads.
✓ Material is at our unit — Verification happens on-site at Unit 18. We do not pay before we have received the material.
✓ Weight is confirmed — We weigh the load ourselves. The weight on the receipt is the weight we record, not an estimate.
✓ Deed is generated — Payment is not released until the deed is minted. Both happen on the same day.
