How It Works

From waste movement
to DEFRA in four steps.

WasteMatrix Hub manages the entire DWT workflow — movement recorded, validated, and submitted to DEFRA automatically.

1

Movement Received

A waste movement arrives at your site. Hub records the details — EWC code, weight, producer and carrier — against your permitted site.

2

Record Validated

Hub checks the movement against DEFRA's requirements — permit number, EWC classification, hazardous flags — before submission.

3

Submitted to DEFRA

Hub posts directly to the DEFRA DWT API via the Receipt of Waste endpoint. No manual uploads. No CSV exports.

4

Compliance Confirmed

DEFRA returns a confirmation token. Hub stores it against the movement record — audit-ready, instantly retrievable.
