Most plastics marketplaces are listing sites. Matium is built for how plastics actually trade.
Posting and hoping isn't enough for industrial materials. Deals are large, trust matters, and logistics and payment terms make or break a transaction. PET, HDPE, PP, LDPE, PCR, wide-spec, off-spec — Matium is built for all of it.
01
Free to trade
List supply, place bids, and close deals at no cost. You only pay when Matium adds something — 1% on auctions for price discovery, starting at 3% on Verified when we handle the deal end-to-end.
02
A vetted network
Every supplier and buyer on Matium is vetted before they can transact. You know who you're dealing with before a deal starts — not after.
03
Built for materials
Workflows, terminology, and tools designed for resin trading, RFQs, and bulk logistics — not a general B2B platform retrofitted for plastics.
Not a broker. Not a middleman.
Brokers make more when they sit in the middle. Matium makes more when the market does more business.
A broker's job is to be in the middle — the wider the spread, the more they make. Matium is built the opposite way. We provide the network and make money when the market does more business, not when we wedge ourselves into the middle of a deal. Our success is aligned with yours, by design.

Why it matters now
Materials markets are changing faster than the tools most companies use to trade them.
- 01
Pricing moves faster than relationships
Decisions that used to take days happen in hours. The companies that move first capture margin.
- 02
Supply chains are less predictable
Disruptions, tariffs, and feedstock shifts mean procurement teams need a wider pool of suppliers than their phonebook allows.
- 03
Logistics is part of the deal
Freight, payment terms, and quality assurance increasingly decide which transactions close. The winners are the ones with that infrastructure already in place.
