TraceIQ

Digital waste tracking compliance — built for UK operators ahead of the October 2026 government mandate.

From October 2026, every permitted waste receiving site in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must submit waste movement records digitally to the Defra government service. TraceIQ connects your operation directly to that system — handling the API submission, digital waste transfer notes, EWC code classification, and carrier verification automatically. No paper. No manual entry. No compliance risk.


What it does

One platform. Full compliance.

Everything your site needs to meet the Digital Waste Tracking requirement — automated, integrated, and ready before the mandate.

📡

Defra API submission

Your waste movements are submitted automatically to the government's Receipt of Waste API. No manual uploads, no spreadsheets, no portal logins.

📄

Digital waste transfer notes

Replace paper WTNs with legally compliant digital records, generated instantly and stored securely for the 7-year retention requirement.

🏷️

EWC code classification

AI-assisted European Waste Catalogue code lookup prevents misclassification errors before they reach the regulator.

Carrier verification

Real-time check of carrier licence status against the Environment Agency register. Know immediately if a carrier's registration has lapsed.

📊

Compliance dashboard

See every waste movement, submission status, and any flagged issues across your site or multiple sites in one view.

🔒

Secure 7-year retention

All records stored securely and retrievable for the full statutory retention period. Audit-ready from day one.

The deadline

October 2026 is not optional.

The UK Government has confirmed that all permitted and licensed waste receiving sites must use the Digital Waste Tracking Service from October 2026. Scotland follows in January 2027. Failure to comply risks penalties, fines, and reputational damage.

The time to prepare is now — not in September 2026. TraceIQ is designed to get your site compliant in under a week, not under a deadline.
