About SMARTStart

SMARTStart is a waste auditing tool which will enable you to kick-start the process of evaluating waste management across all your sites. It is particularly valuable in helping to apply sustainable waste management techniques.

Here are some of the key features of SMARTStart:

• In terms of benchmarking and monitoring: the SMARTStart stores and presents information on the contents of containers leaving site. Containers are visually assessed as they leave site and the percentage volume of 14 waste groups are entered into your secure website account. From the data entered, SMARTStart will generate graphs, tables, an audit log, an Environmental Performance Indicator (EPI) and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for each individual site and on a company-wide basis. You can compare the EPI and KPI with national averages produced by BRE and Constructing Excellence to see how well you are performing compared with the rest of the industry.
• Site Waste Management Plans increasingly are becoming a requirement with many publicly-funded clients. The output obtained from SMARTStart will enable you to monitor performance in relation to existing plans, monitor the effect of changes in waste reduction and recovery methods and help you to prepare and complete new plans.
• SMARTStart will provide you with a greater understanding of the amounts and types of waste leaving your sites. Analysis of this information can be used as a basis for applying sustainable waste management techniques to reduce the amount of waste generated and save money, time and effort.

For a more detailed understanding of which specific products are being wasted, which particular work packages and operations on-site are most wasteful and what is causing these inefficiencies, we recommend using our waste auditing tool – see SMARTAudit for further information.
