Recyclers run on thinner margins and smaller lot sizes than petrochemical majors. Michael charges a fee only when a swap settles. A recycler pays for its own swaps and nothing else.
Priced for Your Scale
Michael charges each party a fee on each swap, at settlement. The fee follows the size of the swap, so a small recycler and a global producer pay by the same rule. A minimum fee applies to each party.
You pay nothing to join, and nothing before a swap settles.
You post intents and negotiate terms at no cost.
Location swap: a percentage of the freight and duty you avoid. Quality or time swap: a percentage of the contract value.
Swap Applications
A converter serves a counterparty's local customer from its own regional stock, avoiding the long-haul freight leg on standard resin grades.
Freight & lead time reducedA recycler with surplus reprocessed resin swaps against a manufacturer's virgin-grade demand. VerifyHub reconciles the grade differential directly into the price.
Grade differential capturedAn OEM sitting on excess resin inventory converts it into working capital by lending to a counterparty now and repaying from the next production run.
Working capital unlockedCompliance Built In
Plasticisers, flame retardants and other additives common in resin compounds carry their own REACH restriction entries. They are exactly the kind of nested, use-case-specific rule ARCO parses without over-blocking legitimate trade.
