How it works
Every tonne has a lifecycle
TONNE is a transaction and material-management platform, not a noticeboard. Material is tracked from source to downstream buyer.
Listing material
Seven short steps. Listings can be moderated before publication.
1. Material
Metals, wood or waste.
2. Specification
Grade, ferrous or non-ferrous, processed, contamination.
3. Quantity
Total tonnes, tonnes available now, ongoing weekly or monthly.
4. Location
Postcode and collection address — exact location can stay hidden.
5. Logistics
Collection required, delivery available, loading and access.
6. Commercial terms
Fixed price, sealed bids or POA.
7. Evidence
Photos, video, weighbridge tickets and analysis documents.
Sealed bids and agreement
TONNE runs as a sealed-bids exchange. Verified buyers submit a price per tonne, collection or delivered basis, a collection date and any additional terms — blind to other buyers, so every bid is your best price. Sellers see all bids together on one screen and can accept, counter or decline. Every action is recorded against the deal.
