Spain is a suitable market for new exporters. We have potential buyers actively looking for:
- Software for Waste Management Facility
- Containers for metal waste that are thief-proof
- Biogas upgrading
- Cost-effective solutions to measure the weight of the waste at different stages of the trucks routes (to charge depending on the amount of waste but being able to load on one truck)
- Containers for communities that allow identification of the waste disposed of by each user (to apply incentives for good sorting)
- Solutions to reduce food waste from hotels and restaurants
- Machinery to separate food waste from packaging
- How to recover Valuable Minerals & Materials From Wastewater, such as phosphorous, etc. - De-humidification solutions for waste
- Pasteurisation of digestate to produce high quality fertilisers that can meet the Spanish legislation
Spain is a suitable market for new exporters. In particular there are plenty of low cost flights from the UK to Barcelona. Pro-UK culture in European location, working in Euros and used to UK companies.

DUTIE - Recycle2Trade Ltd
Dutie is a competitive and efficient data intelligence platform to support users to facilitate the legal trade of secondary resources and contribute to fighting waste crime across the UK. Currently, there is a number of public registers distributed across the web in different formats. It is particularly problematic for companies operating in different countries within the UK. We provide all UK businesses producing waste with a one stop shop to carry out spot checks for compliance with the key elements of the waste regulation regardless where the carriers or receiving site is located within the UK.

Dynamic Flow Technologies limited
Dynamic Flow Technologies design and manufacture WasteWater Meters which incorporate simple design with advanced technology to create a truly unique product. Being able to cheaply, accurately and reliably measure the full range of wastewater flows inside sewer pipes has not been viable - until now! Our WWM uses non-intrusive low power microwave technology, which measures 20 times a second to better accuracy. This IoT device can display the volume in graphical or numerical form, as well as incorporating alarm functions for blocked or partially blocked pipes.
