Our Story
Defining the software infrastructure for the next era of waste tracking.
Our Vision
To organise the waste industry's data, making it universally accessible, compliant, and powerfully useful for a circular economy.
Our Mission
To guide the waste industry through its digital inflection point, providing the connected software needed to power the next 20 years and turn mandatory compliance into a powerful operational advantage.
The Connected Network
Compliance shouldn't happen in a vacuum. Wasters connects every stakeholder — producer, carrier, and receiver — into a single, verifiable ecosystem where data flows as fast as your operations, eliminating silos forever.
The Manifesto
“The UK waste industry has been here before. In 1990, the Duty of Care replaced the handshake with the paper trail. In 1996, the Landfill Tax replaced the hole in the ground with the modern MRF. Every few decades, the rules fundamentally change, and the operators who adapt fastest win. The DEFRA digital waste tracking mandate is our generation's inflection point—the shift from the isolated paper trail to the connected digital network.”
The Era of the Surprise EA Visit is Over.
Compliance used to be an event — a scramble to get paperwork in order before an inspector arrived. Under the new mandate, compliance is continuous. The Environment Agency is always watching the data. Wasters absorbs that burden, baking compliance invisibly into your daily operations.
Wasters is built for this exact moment. We provide the connected software built to power the next 20 years, absorbing the heavy lifting so your operations remain frictionless, confident, and completely compliant. Let them show up; your data speaks for itself.
The Foundation of the Next Era
We don't just build software; we engineer the high-fidelity data layer for the UK's critical waste infrastructure.
Absolute Verification
Every identity and permit in our system is matched against the Global Registry, ensuring every movement is authorised and legally accountable.
Permanent Integrity
We replace fragile paper trails with a verifiable, immutable history. Your records are built to stand up to any audit, today or ten years from now.
Seamless Connectivity
By eliminating data silos, we ensure that compliance information flows instantly between producers, carriers, and sites, removing the friction from growth.
