Mandatory for carriers
All registered carriers must submit waste movements digitally — paper WTNs no longer compliant.
What we submit
Every field DEFRA's new API expects.
Producer, carrier, receiver, vehicle, EWC, weight, treatment code, signature. All pre-populated from the workflow. All retained for the statutory 3 years.
Producer & carrier IDs
Waste-producer codes, registered carrier numbers, broker IDs — all validated against the public register at submission.
Weight & method
Gross / tare / net, measurement source (weighbridge or estimate), method code.
EWC + treatment
EWC classification, hazardous flag, R/D code (recovery vs disposal), final destination.
Vehicle & journey
Plate, ARN, journey log. Every leg captured even on multi-stop runs.
Signature chain
Producer at handover, carrier on collection, receiver on tip. Each signature time-stamped, geo-stamped, archived.
Hazardous extras
HWCN, premises code, H-codes, SDS attachment where required.
What you get back
DEFRA tracking IDs. PDF receipts. Real audit trail.
Every submission returns a DEFRA tracking ID — your defence in any future dispute or audit. Attached to the load, surfaced on the customer's portal, downloadable as a PDF receipt.
DEFRA tracking ID on every load
Surfaced on the WTN, on the customer's producer portal, on the receiver's consignee return.
PDF receipts auto-generated
Branded with your company, downloadable from the customer's inbox. They never need to ask.
Auto-retry on transient failures
The API has bad days. We retry, exponential backoff, alert your admin if a load doesn't make it in.
Submission log, fully searchable
Filter by date, customer, EWC, vehicle. Re-fetch the DEFRA response in one click.
