What is QWTN?
QWTN is an online tool that creates legally compliant UK waste transfer notes in about two minutes. It includes EWC code lookup, valid e-signatures, Environment Agency carrier checks and a chain of custody from collection to deposit, with every note stored for two years. One-off notes are free with no account, and the Solo plan is £12 a month.
The problem it solves
The problem
Anyone who moves waste has to produce a signed waste transfer note on demand, and under the Waste Duty of Care both the business and its carrier share the legal responsibility. If you cannot produce a signed note when asked, the fine is unlimited, yet most notes are still scrawled on paper, photographed and lost. From April 2026, digital waste tracking becomes mandatory.
How QWTN fixes it
QWTN creates a legally compliant transfer note in about two minutes, with EWC code lookup, legally valid e-signatures, Environment Agency carrier checks and a chain of custody that links each collection to its deposit. Every note is stored for two years in the cloud, ready the moment an inspector asks.
Who it is for
Waste carriers, skip hire and demolition firms, and tradespeople from electricians to landscapers who carry away their own waste. One-off notes are free with no account, Solo is £12 a month with storage and e-signatures, and the Carrier and Fleet plans add teams, fleet management and white-label notes.
