Wastrio secures £34k to automate waste records

Wastrio Ltd has secured £34k in a recent funding round. The technology is built specifically for the UK waste industry, serving skip hire companies, metal recyclers, scrap dealers, and waste transfer stations. It enables these companies to manage Waste Transfer Notes digitally, replacing manual paperwork with a tool that logs loads and generates notices from any device. This functionality is designed to ensure users remain audit-ready ahead of DEFRA regulations that mandate digital waste tracking starting in October 2026.

Incorporated in March, the London-based firm focuses on the development, testing, and support of systems software, databases, and web pages tailored for domestic and business use. The startup currently operates with a single employee.

This investment values the business at an estimated £534k post-money, following a share allotment and formal documentation filed in May.
