A recyclable waste stock market has launched to connect eco-conscious buyers and sellers while challenging the belief that all waste is worthless.

The Green Alchemist provides a stock exchange style platform where businesses can sell their unwanted recyclable items to both local and national buyers in need of such materials, in what is believed is a world first.

A subscription-based service, buyers can browse seller profiles by area and materials type before agreeing on a price and collection to support the circular economy and encourage people to be more mindful of the materials they dispose of by adding a financial incentive for ethical recycling.

Dealing in recyclable materials such as paper, wire and cable, cardboard recycling, glass and a variety of plastics, sellers list the materials they have to sell by weight and type and be contacted by a selection of buyers willing to collect the materials at a mutually agreed time.

For buyers looking to boost their eco credentials and move away from virgin materials, the one-of-a-kind platform is easy to use and offers them the opportunity to create a profile detailing the types of materials they can collect and the areas they are willing to travel to for collection.
