The One-Liner: We are not a waste company. We are FinTech infrastructure for the circular economy — tokenising trust, paying suppliers same-day, and providing the only court-admissible Truth Ledger in the Midlands.
The Problem: The UK recycling market is broken. Traditional firms wait 60–90 days for payment. No proof of circularity — just estimates. Councils and corporates are desperate for greenwashing immunity. The Plastic Packaging Tax is now £228.82 per tonne (April 2026).
The Solution – Unit 18: A 25-ton-per-day verification node in Dudley, West Midlands. We run every tonne through 18 checkpoints, mint a dPRN (Digital Packaging Recovery Note — fixed £450/t), and seal it to a SHA-256 Truth Ledger. Court-admissible proof of circularity.
The QR System:
The Financials (Per 1,000 Bags — ~3 tonnes):
Cost per bag: £0.69 · Revenue per bag: £5.86 · Profit per bag: £5.17 · Margin: 88% · Revenue per tonne: £1,954 · Profit per tonne: £1,724
The Ask:
£25k — Bag order + logistics — 6-month payback
£50k — Full Layer 1 rollout — 3-month payback
£100k — Layer 2 + Layer 3 expansion — 6-month payback + recurring licence fees
Comment or DM for the full data room. All claims sealed in SHA-256 Truth Ledger. Documentation available: 7 master MDs, full financial model, contact lists.
The Business: Verification-as-a-Service for the circular economy. We don't sell plastic. We sell proof.
Competitive Moat:
Risk Assessment: Contamination mitigated by 18 checkpoints. Cash flow mitigated by dPRN vault and ABL facility. Open to questions. Full data room available.
The Insight: The real asset in recycling isn't the material. It's the verification.
The System: Physical: Unit 18 (25 tons/day capacity). Digital: SHA-256 Truth Ledger + dPRN (£450/t fixed). Social: 40 meals per tonne via CIO charity.
The Results (Projected, First 12 Months):
Open source ethos: all documentation sealed in our Truth Ledger. We're building in public. Ask anything.
I realised something that everyone in waste misses: the physical plastic is worth £100 a tonne. The verified plastic — with a SHA-256 sealed Truth Ledger entry and court-admissible proof of circularity — is worth £1,954 a tonne.
So we built the infrastructure to create that gap.
What we built:
The numbers: £0.69 cost per bag. £5.86 revenue. 88% margin. Every tonne also funds 40 meals through our CIO structure.
We're not a waste company. We're FinTech infrastructure for the circular economy. Happy to answer any questions about the model, the technology, or the regulatory setup.
Unit 18 is a 25-ton-per-day industrial verification node opening in DY5. We're in the heart of the Black Country — walking distance from Merry Hill and Asda Brierley Hill.
What we do: We take plastic waste, run it through 18 verification checkpoints, mint a digital asset (dPRN — £450/tonne fixed), and seal it to a publicly verifiable SHA-256 Truth Ledger.
The local economic case:
What we're looking for: Local angel investors (£25k–£100k), council partnership conversations (Dudley MBC, Birmingham CC, WMCA), and supply chain connections in the DY postcode area.
Happy to share the full data room with serious inquiries. UK-based, West Midlands-based, and building right now.
