Russell's Transport & Logistics
First confirmed material supplier. 20–40 tonnes/month of plastic. Weekly or bi-weekly collections. Source secured near Unit 18. The first tonne is now within reach.
"The first client is not a transaction. It is proof. The system is not theoretical — it is operational. Russell's Transport & Logistics is Client #1. The machine now has its first verified feedstock source."
Why transport companies are the perfect first client: They accumulate plastic packaging waste from every client they move goods for. It's a volume aggregator — one site, multiple upstream sources. Russell's doesn't just give you plastic, they give you a window into every company that uses them.
The referral play: Transport and logistics companies know every warehouse, manufacturer, and retailer in their area. If Russell's is happy — and they will be, because you're taking waste off their hands for free or at low cost — they will tell others. One client in logistics can become five in three months.
The verification moment: The first pickup is not logistics. It is the system switching from architecture to operation. Every document, every MD, every revenue stream you have built — it all hinges on this one event. Don't rush it. Time the first weighing carefully. Record everything. That first tonne is the proof the entire investor case is built on.
Tonnage discipline: The range is 20–40t. Plan for 20. Build capacity for 40. Do not promise collection throughput to a buyer until the first three months of data are in. Let the reality emerge, then use it as the number.
