How a deal works.

01

List your surplus.

Log in to the Exchange, describe your surplus — product type, volume, frequency, location, and availability window. Refreshi matches you with relevant buyers.

02

Get matched with buyers.

Refreshi Exchange connects your listing with verified buyers actively looking for your type of surplus. All buyers are pre-screened. You control who you deal with.

03

Confirm the deal.

Agree on price, quantity, and timing directly with the buyer — with Refreshi facilitating the transaction. Flexible deal structures for one-off or recurring surplus.

04

Transact and report.

Complete the deal, recover revenue you'd otherwise lose, and receive structured ESG reporting on every transaction — ready for sustainability submissions.
