FOR-LOOP TRADING · THE CIRCULAR ARBITRAGE
Buy cheap. Verify. Sell premium. Split the uplift. Repeat.
The VMT is not a side thought. It is a core door in the for-loop trading model. Raw plastic is misallocated. It trades at £100–150/t because it's unverified. The moment it passes through Unit 18, it becomes verified feedstock worth £400–600/t. The loop is: source → verify → sell → split → repeat. The Trader does the source and sell. You do the verify and keep the dPRN. Every tonne that enters this loop creates £450 (you) and £120–280 (them). Both parties win every single time.

WHY THE TRADER WOULD DO THIS
| Without You | With You |
|---|
| Raw plastic: £100–150/t |
Verified feedstock: £400–600/t |
| No premium. Commodity price only. |
£250–450 uplift per tonne. |
| Hard to sell. Hundreds of identical brokers. |
Easy to sell. Buyer network provided. Manufacturers, supermarkets, recyclers already looking. |
| No compliance proof. EPR liability on the buyer. |
SHA-256 seal. 18-checkpoint verification. 40 meals attributed. Circularity Deed issued. |
| Repeatable? Only if they build the whole system themselves. |
Repeatable by design. Every tonne in the loop is the same process. Scale at will. |
You're not costing them money. You're making them money. The Carrot fee is the cost of the uplift. £133 in → £400–600 out. That's not a fee — that's a lever. No trader with a brain says no to a £250+ margin per tonne that someone else verified and pre-sold for them.
PAY STRUCTURE · COMMISSION MODEL
Base Commission
50%
of resale margin
After Carrot fee and transport cost are deducted. Trader gets half of what's left. Sovereign gets dPRN. Clean split. No ambiguity.
Volume Bonus
£5/t
above 50t/month
Every tonne above the 50t/month threshold earns an extra £5. At 100t/month: 50 bonus tonnes × £5 = £250 extra on top of commission.
Tools Provided
4 assets
Carrot system access · dPRN vault (yours) · Buyer network (manufacturers, supermarkets, recyclers) · Shoulder Evolution tracker dashboard (MD-713)
Example · 30t/month
£2,700+
trader monthly earnings
30t × avg £90 margin post-costs × 50% commission = £1,350–4,200/mo depending on buy price and sell price. Sovereign earns £13,500 dPRN same batch.

THE BOTTOM LINE · SEALED · MD-718
You don't need to do this yourself.
One of your boys buys and stores plastic. You verify it. They sell it as verified feedstock.
They make £120–280/t. You make £450/t (dPRN). Everyone wins.
Write the job description. Post it. Fill it. Run the first 10 tonnes.
That's the proof. That's how the loop starts. That's how it scales.
