SmartWaste: leading sustainability software for construction
SmartWaste is sustainability software that tracks carbon, waste, materials, biodiversity and social value. It helps organisations meet ESG and net zero goals and deliver on compliance and corporate reporting needs.
Construction sustainability challenges
Your sustainability data lives in spreadsheets and paper documents, scattered across projects. You need it consolidated — waste data, materials, energy consumption — to calculate carbon, win tenders, and prove BREEAM compliance. But instead of strategic work, you're reconciling spreadsheet versions, chasing missing information from subcontractors, and explaining data gaps to auditors.
Wasted time
Many hours of staff time per week maintaining manual systems, reconciling versions and chasing data.
Unreliable data
Unverified data creates compliance risks, impacts external reporting and undermines strategic decisions.
Competitive disadvantage
Without quality evidence systems, proving your credentials takes longer giving competitors the edge in tenders.
One platform for complete ESG visibility
Construction projects generate sustainability data across multiple sites, trades and systems. Most teams have developed spreadsheet-based workflows - but when that data needs consolidating for carbon calculations, ESG reporting, biodiversity net gain and social value delivery, the administrative overhead has become significant.

How SmartWaste works
Capture
Flexible data capture across the supply chain
SmartWaste captures project data through API integration, spreadsheet import and document scanning (SmartWaste Scan using AI). Takes minutes per day, creates comprehensive auditable evidence.
Verify
Quality assured data that achieves compliance
Validates data against regulated databases, identifies duplicate entries, automatically maintains audit trails. Regulators and assessors accept SmartWaste data as verifiable evidence.
Report
Actionable insights at your fingertips
Construction data aggregates from project to company-wide view. Spot trends, deliver actionable insights and support ESG frameworks through customisable dashboards.
SmartWaste Scan
AI-powered document scanning captures waste transfer notes and delivery tickets through your smartphone or tablet camera.
Eliminates manual data entry whilst maintaining audit quality evidence.

FAQ’s
Excel and Power BI are valuable tools but create three problems for construction sustainability: no automatic audit trail to source data, version control failure across project teams, and significant labour overhead. SmartWaste provides purpose-built construction sustainability reporting with automatic audit trails and 60-70% time saving versus Excel workflows. However, SmartWaste still allows users to fully benefit from the simplicity of capturing data in Excel to upload to SmartWaste. The SmartWaste API also allows customers to reap the end benefits of reporting via Power BI and other business intelligence systems through integration.
SmartWaste automates where appropriate (API integration, bulk import, SmartWaste Scan) but requires project-level input for audit-quality evidence. BREEAM assessors require verified project data, not database estimates. This balance delivers both efficiency and audit confidence. You saw this in the video—data entry takes minutes but creates comprehensive, auditable evidence.
Typical implementation: 4 weeks from contract to first project data capture. Includes system configuration, user training, and first project support. Most customers achieve full adoption across project portfolio within 2-3 months.
The early phase of onboarding can include:
- Account set up and configuration
- Company admin and user training
- Project set up Supply chain management
- System integration with Data Providers (via the API)
- Waste Duty of Care and material responsible sourcing certificates
