01The thesis
Recovery only works if there's a buyer.
Materials get collected and processed all across the country — and then sold through the same fragmented, opaque, relationship-driven scrap trade it has run on for decades. No standard grading, no visible price, no way to compare one buyer's offer against the market.
Zeno exists to make that market legible: organised commerce, transparent price discovery and settlement infrastructure for materials that used to change hands on a phone call and a handshake.
The marketplace for the circular economy — not a directory of buyers, an actual market.
“A tonne nobody will buy is not a tonne recovered. We make it worth recovering.”
02What we build
Six systems. One market layer.
Listing, bidding, pricing, contracting, logistics and settlement — the full path from a tonne on a yard floor to a paid, closed trade.
02Bidding
Auctions
Competitive-bid sales for bulk material lots, replacing single-buyer negotiation with open price competition.

Traded grades / indicative
Illustrative reference prices — Zeno's live book is where the real number is set.
03What trades
Four streams. Fifty-plus grades.
A tonne is not a tonne. Zeno trades at grade level, because that is the only level at which a price means anything.
Metals / live book
Highest value per tonne, tightest spreads.
04One trade, end to end
From yard floor to paid and closed.
No broker chain, no phone-call price that changes on arrival, no waiting weeks for the money to clear. One tracked path with a record at every step.
05How it holds up
A market is only as good as its record of itself.
This trade runs on paper today — WhatsApp prices, handwritten slips, invoices reassembled at audit. Zeno replaces that with infrastructure that remembers.
Trust01
Every counterparty is verified before it can trade.
Registration checked, tax identity validated, no shell accounts on the book. You transact with businesses that actually exist.
Verified
Before first trade
Visibility02
Nothing moves without both sides knowing.
Listing to last mile: pickup, weighbridge, dispatch and delivery all land on the same timeline in real time.
Tracked
Listing → last mile
Records03
One source of truth, stored the moment it exists.
Invoices, weighslips, grade certificates and recovery reports are captured at the event — not reconstructed from email months later.
Retained
Audit-ready
Clearing the yard
One pickup. One fair live price. No haggling.
