Empowering the Circular Economy
Every senti
counts.
Financial identity for the waste workers who power the circular economy.

We believe nothing honest
is too small to count.
The waste economy runs on small amounts: a few shillings per kilogram, a handful of bottles at a time. We make each one visible, so steady work becomes proof, and proof becomes opportunity.
What we do
Weigh
Everything a worker brings is weighed in the open and recorded as it happens.
Pay
Money moves on the spot, and every payment lands in the books.
Prove
The records add up to a financial identity that belongs to the worker.
The app
Senti Eco
LiveWeigh what comes in, pay for it on the spot, and know where the money went. Everything a collection centre needs, on the phone already in your pocket.
