About WasteSync

Built for Resilience, Not Hype

WasteSync was founded to solve a critical problem facing UK waste receiving sites ahead of the October 2026 Digital Waste Tracking mandate: what happens when the national system or your internet connection fails?

We develop offline-first continuity software that keeps weighbridges running and compliance intact — even during outages. No lost loads. No manual paper fallback. No compliance gaps.

Our Backing

We are proud to be:

  • Selected for the University of Strathclyde Inspire Accelerator — bringing academic rigour and structured mentoring to offline-first infrastructure software.
  • Supported by Techscaler — Scotland’s national startup programme, backed by the Scottish Government.
  • A Netlify Partner — building on secure, enterprise-grade web infrastructure.
  • Supported by Google for Startups — gaining access to world-class technical resources.

Our philosophy is simple: Robust over flashy. Every decision is made with regulated waste sites in mind — simplicity for operators, iron-clad security for compliance teams, and UK data residency throughout.

We exist to give site managers and operators one less thing to worry about when the 2026 hard-stop arrives.
