Waste4Change runs the money and the material for South Africa's recycling value chain. Weigh, pay, trace and report every kilogram — from the reclaimer on the street to the mill that buys it.
Connecting the recycling value chain across South Africa
Three moves turn loose material into traceable, sellable, reportable stock — with the reclaimer paid the moment it's weighed.
Staff weigh material from reclaimers, price it against live rates, and pay instantly — by wallet, cash-out or SMS receipt. No paperwork, no delay.
Each transaction is tagged to material, facility and counterparty — building a clean chain of custody from collection point through to aggregation.
Aggregate and sell graded stock to registered buyers at contract pricing — then export PRO-ready EPR and recovery reports in a single click.
Buyback centers run operations, PROs fund and verify recovery, buyers source graded material, and brands prove their EPR obligations — all on the same data.
Intake, inventory, payments and accounts in a single workspace built for the buyback floor — fast enough for a queue, precise enough for the books.
See verified recovery flowing across your funded network in real time, and pay incentives against transactions that actually happened.
Buy aggregated stock with known grade, origin and weight at contract pricing — and settle through the same ledger your suppliers already use.
Turn the packaging you put on the market into a verifiable recovery story — backed by real transactions, ready for your annual EPR submission.
The rigour of a payments system, the speed of a point-of-sale, the traceability of a supply chain — purpose-built for recovered material.
Intake, sales, balances and inventory in one live view, scoped to every facility. Spot a low-stock material or a slow day before it costs you.
Explore the dashboardPay reclaimers the moment material is weighed — wallet, cash-out or SMS receipt — with every cent reconciled to a transaction and synced to your books.
See how payments workEvery kilogram carries its material, grade, facility and counterparty — a defensible chain of custody from the collection point to the buyer.
Follow the chainBecause the data starts clean at intake, compliance output isn't a quarter-end scramble. Filter by material, region or funder and export a submission-ready report.
EPR isn't a feature we bolted on — it's the reason the ledger is clean. Recovery is verifiable, reclaimers are recognised, and data is protected by design.
Recovery data structured for Producer Responsibility reporting from day one.
Reclaimers recognised and registered through the national waste-picker registry.
Personal and payment data protected and access-controlled across every role.
Every rand and kilogram traces back to a finalized, timestamped transaction.
