The Category · Declared
Specification Plastic dPRN Minting is a new category. Not compliance. Not waste collection. Not recycling. Not a verification service.
The category sits at the intersection of three existing industries — plastics trading, verification services, and digital assets — and supersedes all three. Where those industries see a problem (waste), a cost (compliance), or a transaction (trading), SPDM sees a specification, a method, and an asset.
Waste is a problem. Specification plastic is a feedstock. This is not semantic. It changes who you call, what you pay, what you offer, and what you leave with. Compliance and verification are the method — not the product. The product is the dPRN, minted from specification-grade plastic acquired at a discount to its asset value.
The Three Layers · How the Category Operates
Layer 1 · Specification
You define what you'll accept.
PP · PE · PET · PS · ABS · Clean · Any form
The specification is the quality gate. It protects dPRN value by controlling what enters the system. You are not accepting all plastic — you are accepting specification-grade plastic. That distinction is what separates SPDM from waste management. The spec is not a restriction — it is a commercial position. It tells the market what you are, what you value, and what you won't touch. Write the spec. Hold the line. Every tonne that passes is a dPRN. Every tonne that fails is a tonne you didn't waste money on.
Layer 2 · Verification
You prove it meets spec.
18-point checklist · SHA-256 · Circularity Deed · dPRN pre-cert
Verification is the method, not the product. The 18-point SDV checklist proves the plastic meets your specification. The SHA-256 seal makes the proof immutable. The Circularity Deed creates a transferable certificate. Together they turn specification plastic into verified feedstock — sellable at £400–600/t instead of £100–150/t. The supplier's uplift is real. Your dPRN is real. The verification creates both. SDV is the machine that runs Layer 2. SDV is unchanged.
Layer 3 · Digital Asset
You mint the dPRN.
dPRN = £450/tonne · Your asset · Your profit · Your point
The dPRN is what you keep. Every tonne of specification plastic that passes the 18 points becomes a dPRN worth £450. You paid £133. You net +£317. The supplier gets same-day cash (£133) plus verified material back to sell at £400–600/t. Both parties win on every tonne. There is no ceiling. There is no dependency on a single client, a single market, or a single regulation. Every specification plastic supplier in the UK is a potential SPDM counterparty.
The Spec Sheet · What You Accept · Sealed
| Parameter | Specification | Why This Matters |
|---|
| Plastic types | PP · PE · PET · PS · ABS | High-demand commercial grades. Maximum dPRN value per tonne. Traceable polymer chains. |
| Form accepted | Sheets · rolls · pellets · regrind · purge · scrap | Any form that can pass 18 points. Form is not the qualifier — condition is. |
| Condition required | Clean · dry · no liquid contaminants | SHA-256 proof requires clean input. Contamination fails the spec and costs the run. |
| Stock age | Any — months, years, dormant stock welcome | You solve their storage problem. Age does not disqualify. Condition does. |
| Minimum volume | 1 tonne | Minimum economic unit at £133/t SDV cost. One tonne = one dPRN = £450. |
| Maximum per visit | 40 tonnes (SDV capacity) | Manageable per run. Multi-visit for larger batches. Fleet Commander schedules. |
| Payment to supplier | £133/tonne · same-day cash | The irresistible offer. Industry standard is 30–120 days. You pay the day of collection. |
| What supplier receives | Cash + verified material back + Circularity Deed | They can sell at £400–600/t. You paid them £133. The verification created a £267–467/t uplift for them. |
| Your asset | dPRN · £450/tonne | Net +£317/tonne. Every tonne. No ceiling. No dependency. |

Scale · What the Loop Produces
| Volume | dPRN Minted | Net (£317/t) | Context |
|---|
| 5t/month | £2,250 | £1,585/mo | 1–2 visits. First operator starting out. |
| 10t/month | £4,500 | £3,170/mo | 2–3 visits. Russell's T&L first run target. |
| 40t/month | £18,000 | £12,680/mo | Daily SDV. One operator fully deployed. |
| 100t/month | £45,000 | £31,700/mo | Multiple operators. Regional coverage. |
| 500t/month | £225,000 | £158,500/mo | National scale. Franchise model active. |
The loop doesn't stop. Every tonne that passes the spec is £317 net. The ceiling is the supply of specification-grade plastic — which is every clean commercial plastic stock in the UK. That is not a ceiling. That is a market.
The Offer · Sealed · Copy Verbatim
"I buy specification plastic — sheets, rolls, pellets, regrind, any clean form of PP, PE, PET, PS, ABS.
I pay £133 per tonne, same-day cash.
I verify it on site. You get your material back verified. You can sell it at a premium — £400 to £600 per tonne. I keep the digital asset.
No waiting. No storage. No logistics on your side. Cash today. Verified material back today.
What plastic do you have sitting?"
They do not need to understand dPRNs. They need to understand: cash today · material back verified · sell for more tomorrow. That is a transaction, not a pitch. Not a concept. Not a product. A transaction. Those three things are enough. The rest is process.
The Operator Framework · Who Does What
Role · Founder / Sovereign

Role · Operator (e.g. Russell's T&L)
⚙️ SDV Operator
Runs the SDV verification on site. Knows the 18 points. Executes the process. Can identify spec-grade plastic on sight. Does not set policy — executes it.

Take: £75/t flat or % uplift · per MD-718
Role · Supplier (plastic holder)
📦 Spec Plastic Supplier
Holds specification plastic — dormant stock, off-spec, any form. Sells to you at £133/t same-day. Receives verified material back. Sells at premium (£400–600/t). Problem solved. Twice.
Receives: £133/t cash + verified material back
SDV · The Engine · Unchanged
SDV (Same-Day Verified) is the machine that runs Specification Plastic dPRN Minting. Every SPDM transaction is an SDV run. SDV processes the plastic. SDV issues the Circularity Deed. SDV mints the dPRN. SDV has always been built for this — the category name simply arrived late.
SDV is unchanged. The fee tiers are unchanged. The Carrot system is unchanged. The 18-checkpoint process is unchanged. SPDM is not a modification of SDV — it is the commercial frame that explains what SDV was always doing. The engine was running before the category had a name.
MD-1011 · The Specification Plastic Doctrine · Sealed
Category declared. Three layers defined. Spec sheet locked. Operator framework confirmed. SDV unchanged and connected. Acquisition economics sealed at +£317/tonne net.
This doctrine governs the Specification Plastic dPRN Minting category. All operations, all operators, all transactions under the SPDM frame reference this document as the operational standard.
