Waste Accountant was developed in 2005 to support and improve sustainable waste management within construction, civil engineering and highways businesses. The sustainability challenge is to enhance growth and profitability while complying with waste regulations and meeting waste reduction targets. As waste management is complex it is important to simplify the capture of data and replace manual and paper-based systems with a one stop cloud based system, that is accessed through any electronic device.
In a nutshell, Waste Accountant measures and monitors waste from generation to endpoint. The inbuilt reporting and analytical tools enable businesses to manage and reduce waste, ensure regulatory compliance and improve environmental and commercial performance. Cost analysis is a fundamental part of Waste Accountant and the system has a proven track record of healthy cost savings in relatively short timescales.
Once Waste Accountant is embedded in your business three key stages are completed. These focus on tracking, reporting/analysing and improving waste management. You can read about these in more detail below.
Safe, secure and recoverable data storage
Inputting data into Waste Accountant is quick and easy with our drop-down menus and bulk entry options. Data is presented clearly in cvs format and is easily collated and analysed using our inbuilt reporting and analytical tools.
All data is backed up safely and securely so you will never lose information.
Avoid duplicated data entry
Waste Accountant is an integrated waste manement system and is designed to allow multiple organisations to add data to the same project. Users can transfer data from their account to another either by API or the import and export function.
Update MMPs and SWMPs in real time
Waste Accountant Material and Site Waste Management Plans are continously updated as waste movement data is added. This prevents the need to add data retrospectively once the job is done, saving valuable time.
Reduce CO2 using the Waste Accountant carbon mileage calculator
Waste Accountant is designed to ensure that clients' waste is recycled at a permitted site closest to schemes/project/office/depot.
Waste Accountant calculates mileage data using waste movement information to demonstrate best CO2 performance and areas requiring improvement.
Generate quarterly waste returns at the click of a button
Instead of creating a spreadsheet or completing the online 'Generic Operator Returns' to forward quarterly waste data to the Environment Agency, Waste Accountant generates instant reports containing all waste movements for a given quarter.
Duty of Care checks for Waste Accountant subscribers
To ensure that any waste that you produce is handled by an authorised facility, it is important to check that it has the correct permit or exemption in place. We complete duty of care checks , on behalf of our clients, for local facilities and carrier's during Waste Accountant set-up.
