A trading business built on a compliance platform — not the other way round.
Much of this market runs on phones and spreadsheets, with documentation chased afterwards. RAW TG operates on our digital platform, so digital duty of care, chain-of-custody and an auditable movement record sit inside every trade by design.
Every party reads from the same record.
The animated platform scene shows why the technology matters: supplier data, carrier movement, processor inspection and audit evidence are not separate files. They are connected around one consignment record.
That gives the trading desk a practical advantage: the evidence required to move, inspect and settle material is visible while the trade is happening.
The operating layer under the trading desk.
The platform handles the documentation and traceability that battery-materials movement demands — as part of the commercial workflow, not separate admin.
Digital duty of care
Duty-of-care records for waste movement captured digitally against each consignment.
Digital waste tracking workflows
Movement workflows designed around digital waste tracking, from source to processor.
Chain-of-custody
A connected record of who held the material and where it moved, end to end.
Transfer documentation
Waste transfer and movement documentation generated and retained with the trade.
Audit retrieval
Records held against each consignment, so a provenance question can be answered quickly.
Cross-border documentation & reporting
Documentation for cross-border movements, with reporting and visibility for the desk.
The point is not the software. It is that connectivity between producers, carriers, recyclers and facilitators sits on one record, so the people on either side of a trade are reading the same thing. RAW TG sells the outcome — provenance you can prove in minutes, one auditable record per consignment — rather than a tool you have to operate. See what that looks like on the compliance side.
Each capability ties to a trade outcome.
Technology only matters if it changes how a trade behaves. Here it does — the platform turns compliance from after-the-fact paperwork into something the commercial desk can act on. Each capability maps to a concrete change in how a trade runs.
| Capability | What it changes on a trade |
|---|---|
| Digital duty of care | Evidence is captured as material changes hands, not chased afterwards |
| Chain-of-custody | Suppliers and refiners read one shared record of the movement |
| Transfer documentation | The paperwork is generated as the trade runs |
| Audit retrieval | A provenance question is answered in minutes, not days |
| Cross-border documentation | International movements are supported, not improvised |
API-first, so the record travels to the systems that need it.
A system of record is only useful if other systems can read it. Our digital platform is built API-first: consignment records, custody events and documentation are structured data that can flow to counterparty systems, reporting pipelines and — as regimes go digital — regulatory reporting.
Consignment & event APIs
Structured access to consignment records, custody events and documentation — so an OEM, refiner or scheme can pull evidence into its own systems instead of re-keying it.
Digital waste tracking, ready
The UK is moving toward mandatory digital waste tracking. Records are captured in that shape today — movement-level, timestamped, digital from the start — so the shift is an export, not a rebuild.
Workflow integrations
Enquiry-to-desk routing (CRM-ready), document generation and counterparty sharing are part of the workflow — the same record, surfaced where each party works.
Provenance data is commercial data. It is treated that way.
Chain-of-custody records reveal volumes, routes and counterparties — commercially sensitive by definition. The platform's posture is built around that reality.
Encryption in transit and at rest
Records and documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, with access over authenticated, TLS-protected connections.
Role-based access
Each party sees its side of a trade — suppliers, carriers, processors and reviewers work from scoped views of the same record, not a shared spreadsheet.
Immutable audit logging
Custody events are timestamped and append-only — the trail shows what was recorded and when, including corrections, rather than a silently edited history.
UK & EU data protection
Personal data is handled under UK GDPR; commercial records are shared only with the parties to a trade and those they authorise. See the privacy policy.
One system of record
Material information, movement documentation, inspection events and settlement milestones are held together against each consignment. Instead of scattered emails and PDFs, there is a single auditable record the desk and both counterparties can rely on.
That is what separates RAW TG from a phone-and-spreadsheet intermediary: the trade and its evidence are the same object.
How the platform relationship works
Our digital platform is built, owned and operated within the RAW TG group, and runs as the operating layer beneath all trading activity — the trading engine and the system of record come from the same place.
The workflows are designed around digital waste tracking. RAW TG helps prepare the records that battery-materials movement requires — it does not operate, and does not claim to be, any government system.
Built for where waste documentation is heading.
UK waste documentation is moving from paper toward mandatory digital waste tracking, phased in over the coming years. RAW TG's trades are documented on a platform designed around those workflows — so the records are structured digitally from the outset, not retrofitted later.
Digital-first records
Duty-of-care and movement documentation is captured digitally as the trade runs, rather than transcribed from paper after the event.
Structured per consignment
Material detail, movements, inspection events and documentation are held against one consignment record, in a form a reviewer can read.
Helps prepare
Because the records are already digital and consignment-level, they are far closer to what digital waste tracking expects — without a scramble later.
Worth stating plainly: "designed around" and "helps prepare" are deliberate words. Our digital platform is not the government's digital waste tracking system, and using it does not guarantee a compliance outcome. It structures the records a trade produces so they are ready when they are needed.
Our own platform team, building the compliance technology in-house.
RAW TG runs its own in-house development team, working alongside our platform to build the traceability and digital duty-of-care technology behind every trade. Three capabilities are in active development — each designed around where waste and battery-materials regulation is heading.
DWTS — Digital Waste Tracking
Records structured around the UK’s move to mandatory digital waste tracking, so duty-of-care and movement data is captured digitally as the trade runs — not retrofitted afterwards.
In developmentDIWASS — international shipments
Digital tracking and documentation for international and transfrontier (TFS) waste shipments — built into the route rather than bolted on, so cross-border movements carry the same clean, auditable record.
In developmentBattery passport
Lifecycle traceability for battery materials — designed to support the EU battery passport and the OEMs that will need verified end-of-life and recycled-content data.
In developmentFrom production, into the waste stream, and back into manufacturing.
From 18 February 2027, EV and industrial batteries placed on the EU market must carry a digital battery passport — a record that follows the battery across its whole life. RAW TG is building the part most providers cannot evidence: what happens once a battery reaches end of life, what is recovered from it, and how that recycled content feeds back into manufacturing.
Made & in service
Cells, packs and modules enter the market and do their working life.
Retired & collected
Modules and packs reach end of service and enter the waste stream.
Tracked on our platform
Every movement recorded — a digital chain of custody per consignment.
Recovered
Nickel, cobalt, lithium and copper recovered, assayed and evidenced.
Back to manufacturing
Verified recycled content feeds back into new battery production.
Designed to support — not a compliance guarantee. The battery passport capability is in development and is designed to support the EU battery passport requirements; it does not constitute regulatory approval, certification, or a guaranteed compliance outcome. OEMs and counterparties remain responsible for their own regulatory obligations.
One consignment, tracked across every route.
From source to processor and across borders, each movement is captured against a single consignment record — visualised here as the live material-flow map the platform keeps behind every trade.
Accuracy & scope
RAW TG describes its traceability and digital duty of care capability. It does not claim regulatory approval, certification, or guaranteed compliance outcomes. Counterparties remain responsible for their own classifications and legal obligations.
The platform — answered.
Is this the government's digital waste tracking system?
No. The UK is moving toward mandatory digital waste tracking, phased in over the coming years. our platform is a commercial platform designed around those workflows; it helps prepare the records that direction implies, but it is not the government system and does not guarantee a compliance outcome.
Who owns and operates the platform?
Our digital platform is built, owned and operated within the RAW TG group, and runs as the operating layer beneath all trading activity — the trading engine and the system of record come from the same place.
What records do I actually get?
One auditable record per consignment, bringing together material detail, digital duty of care, movement and transfer documentation, inspection events and settlement milestones — rather than scattered emails and PDFs. See compliance & traceability for what is captured on each trade.
Does it work for cross-border movements?
Yes. The platform supports documentation and reporting for UK, EU and international movements, held alongside the rest of the trail. It is a documentation capability — counterparties remain responsible for their own classifications and obligations. See how movements are routed and handled.
How does it help when a trade is reviewed or audited?
Because the trade and its evidence are the same object. Instead of reconstructing a history from inboxes, a provenance question is answered by retrieving one consignment record — timestamped, ordered and complete. That is the difference between an auditable system of record and a paper trail you have to chase.
