Waste & Circular: Case Studies
Worked examples showing how the module is used in practice.
The examples below are illustrative worked cases built from the module design. Named customer references are published only with written consent.
Worked example
How a business like yours would use Waste & Circular
The problem: Needs duty of care documentation right for every movement.
What they do
- Register every waste stream
- Assign compliant disposal or recovery routes
- Generate and retain duty of care documentation
- Value manures and digestate as nutrients
What changes
- Waste movements with complete documentation
- Nutrient value recovered from manures
- Waste cost per hectare
This is an illustrative worked example built from the module design, not a customer reference. Named case studies are published only with the business's written consent.
In the field
Waste & circular, as it actually looks
Photography from working UK holdings alongside the interface that records it. Every frame below is a commissioned slot: the brief is stated until the photograph is taken.
Waste & Circular — a walkthrough
A working pass through waste & circular: entering the record once, and watching it appear in the evidence pack, the calendar and the scheme application without being typed again.
- 0:00 What the module is for
- 0:48 Entering the record
- 2:05 Where it appears next
- 3:20 The evidence pack
Photography slots state their own brief until the shot is commissioned, so the layout never shifts when real images arrive.
What we are hearing

These are composite statements drawn from user research conversations, not attributed customer quotes. We publish named references only with written consent.
I am not short of software. I am short of one place where the same field means the same thing in all of it.
The scheme closed on a Tuesday evening. I had the application half built. Nobody told me the budget was nearly gone.
We farm on both sides of the border. Everything takes twice as long and I still cannot see the whole position on one screen.
Audit week costs me three days. Every single record they ask for is already written down somewhere on this farm.

Measurement
How you will know it is working
The module reports against these measures from the day it is switched on, so the value is demonstrable rather than assumed.
- 01Waste movements with complete documentation
- 02Nutrient value recovered from manures
- 03Waste cost per hectare
- 04Recycling rate
- 05Feedstock contract value
Payment schedule
What is due, and when it lands
Farm support arrives in instalments from several bodies on different calendars. Set against your own overdraft, the question is not how much but when — so the ledger is ordered by date, not by scheme.
| When | Payment | From | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February | Slurry Infrastructure Grant | Defra / Rural Payments Agency | — | Expected |
| June | Improving Farm Productivity Grant | Defra / Rural Payments Agency | — | Agreed |
| February | Farming Transformation Fund | Defra / Rural Payments Agency | — | Eligible |
| June | Sustainable Farming Incentive 2026 | Defra / Rural Payments Agency | — | Eligible |
| March | Countryside Stewardship | Defra / Natural England / Rural Payments Agency | — | Eligible |
| June | Environmental Land Management Capital Grants | Defra / Rural Payments Agency | — | Eligible |
- — Agreed and scheduled
- — Claimed, awaiting payment
- — Eligible, unclaimed
What the statuses mean
- Agreed
- Under a signed agreement with a scheduled payment date.
- Expected
- Claimed and assessed; payment date per the published standard.
- Eligible
- Your holding appears to qualify but nothing is claimed yet.
Government cannot currently see, in real time, where its own farming budget is going. A scheme was closed overnight because the cap had been reached, and hundreds of millions of pounds went unspent over three years because replacement schemes were not ready. The evidence for change is government's own.
