About

About Veraloop

Veraloop by Agave Networks is a UK company backed by Innovate UK. Our team has traded scrap metal between the UK and India.

Our story

We are traders first. Our team brings more than 20 years of combined experience in the international trade of recycled metals and paper scrap.

Across deals and conversations with hundreds of buyers and suppliers around the world, one thing became clear. Finding someone to trade with is not the hard part. Plenty of networks and marketplaces already do that. The hard part is trusting them: is the material really there, is it the grade in the contract, and will the buyer actually pay?

Today, most traders solve that by flying out to inspect a yard, paying upfront and hoping, or not trading at all. We learned this the hard way: on one of our own deals, we paid a UK supplier upfront, and nearly four months later the metal still had not shipped.

So we built Veraloop. It combines cameras, AI and a licensed escrow partner. Buyers and suppliers can verify each other, and the material, before any money moves.

Mission

Make it safe for any buyer and supplier to trade, from the very first deal.

Vision

A global recycled-materials market where every load is verified and every payment is protected, so good material moves faster to the people who can reuse it.

What we believe

What we believe.

  • Proof over promises.

    Money moves only when the evidence is there.

  • Both sides protected.

    Buyers get the material they paid for. Suppliers get paid for what they load.

  • Built by traders.

    We know this trade because we work in it.
