General Questions

What is Resource Hub?

Resource Hub is a verified marketplace that connects businesses to buy, sell, and transport secondary raw materials. Our platform helps organizations participate in the circular economy by finding new uses for materials that might otherwise go to waste. Currently, Resource Hub is in a closed pilot phase, working with selected partners to refine and optimize the platform.

How does Resource Hub work?

Resource Hub works in three simple steps: 1) Register and get verified, 2) Post or browse listings for secondary materials, and 3) Connect and trade with other verified businesses. Our platform handles the entire process from listing to transaction coordination.

Is there a cost to join Resource Hub?

Verification & Security

How does the verification process work?

After registration, you'll need to provide business documentation such as registration certificates, licenses, and proof of address. Our team reviews these documents and may conduct additional checks before approving your organization.

How long does verification take?

Typically, the verification process takes 1-3 business days. Complex cases may take longer. You'll receive email updates throughout the process and can check your verification status in your dashboard.

How does Resource Hub ensure platform security?

We implement robust security measures including encryption, secure authentication, regular security audits, and strict data protection policies. All participants undergo verification to ensure only legitimate businesses can access the platform.

Using the Platform

How do I create a listing?

Once verified, you can create listings from your dashboard. You'll need to provide details about the material, including type, quantity, quality parameters, location, and pricing information. You can also upload images and supporting documentation.

How are transport services integrated?

Transport providers can register on the platform just like buyers and sellers. When a transaction is being arranged, buyers and sellers can request transport services directly through the platform, and registered transporters can bid on these opportunities.

How does Resource Hub ensure compliance with regulations?

Our platform includes tools for managing waste transfer notes, EWC codes, and other regulatory documentation. We help facilitate proper documentation, but each organization remains responsible for their regulatory compliance.
