Construction and Demolition Waste Recovery Oversight and Management

Diversys empowers recycling program oversight and management for government, environmental stewards, producer responsibility organizations, recycling authorities, and municipal/local governments. The platform provides accurate, auditable, real-time data tracking and reporting to meet regulatory requirements with trustworthy data for oversight.

Tackling Sustainability Challenges in Construction and Demolition Waste Management

Improper management of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste has a very real impact on the environment and regulatory requirements such as green building laws are taking on these consequences. Multi-stream, mixed-stream, and invisible waste streams in C&D waste management pose a significant challenge and consist of various material types including concrete, wood, metal, or even dirt. Builders, excavators, and demolition companies all have a role to play in improving sustainability and ensuring regulatory compliance to minimize the environmental costs of C&D waste.

The Business Impact of Waste Materials Tracking in C&D 

GHG performance per site 
Managing greenhouse gas emissions generated from construction activities and waste disposal requires accurate data and visibility into waste streams.   

WASTE MATERIAL TRACKING
    Ensuring transparency and traceability in the waste disposal process is vital to minimizing environmental  impact, meeting regulatory requirements to avoid penalties and fees.

MULTIPLE WASTE STREAMS
Differentiating between mixed waste streams (which contain multiple types of materials) and invisible waste streams (those that are not immediately apparent) is crucial for proper waste management and recycling. 

Hidden costs
    Failing to track material excess across projects can result in inflated purchases and inaccurate predictions that ultimately lead to increased volumes of unused materials as well as increased waste disposal and recycling costs. 

C&D Waste Tracking and Recycling Obstacles 

Inconsistent Data 
Limited visibility into waste streams and suppliers results in inconsistent data collection and reporting, restricting oversight of waste diversion and recycling.   

Tracking Challenges
    C&D waste comes in varying types, materials, and quantities, and the lack of industry standardization further complicates waste tracking and management.

Collaboration Hurdles
Decentralized participants limits stakeholder collaboration and visibility into the C&D waste stream, impeding proper handling and disposal of materials.

Complex Processing
    Different disposal methods, transportation requirements, and processing techniques add complexities that cause data inaccuracies and hinder regulatory compliance.

Learn how Diversys solves C&D waste tracking and management with a unified platform that streamlines the process to more easily meet regulatory requirements.

Harnessing Recycling Software to Elevate Extended Producer Responsibility

By Bridget Vandenbosch • 12 Aug, 2023
In the heart of every transformative endeavour lies a story of innovation and progressive thinking. Around the globe, the push towards a more sustainable future is gaining momentum. A potent catalyst in this transformation is the rise of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs. Nova Scotia, a province deeply committed to sustainable initiatives, finds its narrative enriched by the newly announced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs. It’s a significant step toward reducing waste and promoting resource recovery from packaging, paper products, lamps, batteries, and small household electric appliances. EPR is reshaping product designs and promoting a culture of recycling. Nova Scotia is just one example in a global movement of continued expansion of EPR programs and initiatives. When it comes to driving greater environmental outcomes in resource recovery, it's essential to recognize that while EPR is the compass, the meticulous tracking of resource recovery via advanced recycling software is the engine propelling sustainability. Leveraged effectively, data can refine methodologies, augment environmental stewardship, and create lasting changes that have tangible impacts on our planet. Understanding the intricacies of waste management and recycling becomes infinitely more actionable with precise data.

Fashioning a New Cycle: The Responsible Textile Recovery Act, Extended Producer Responsibility, and Data

By Bridget Vandenbosch • 17 Jul, 2023
Ever pictured a world where your best shirt doesn't just look good, but it does good for our planet too? Well, some big players in the US clothing scene are working to make that happen. A new law in the works called the Responsible Textile Recovery Act (SB707) could shake up how the fashion industry deals with waste over the next few years. This law could set the tone for all future rules about waste and recycling in the US textile industry. It's all about using data and sustainable practices to make a change. This is the first time a law like this has been proposed nationally. So why do we need this law in the clothing and textile industry, and what part does data play in it? Clothes and textiles make up a whole lot of waste worldwide. According to the US EPA, the United States alone throws away over 17 million tons of textiles annually . Most of this ends up in landfills or gets burned, which harms our environment and uses up our natural resources. A solid recycling law could help turn things around. This law, known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) , makes companies accountable for the environmental impact of their products. From creation to disposal, they're responsible. Under EPR, companies must ensure their products are properly recycled or reused at the end of their life. While it's a step in the right direction, it's also a massive task.

Understanding Environmental Debt: Unseen Consequences and Effective Solutions

By Bridget Vandenbosch • 29 Jun, 2023
Debt. Yep, that's a word that can weigh you down. We've all been there, whether from investments we needed to make or those impulse buys that got the best of us. Either way, you've got to pay your dues because if you don't, that debt keeps piling up, compounding by the day. Now, imagine that same concept applied to our environment. In many ways, we've been doing the same thing with our planet's resources, chasing short-term gains while the long-term consequences keep stacking up.

Lithium-ion Battery Recycling: A Memo from the EPA

By Bridget Vandenbosch • 22 Jun, 2023
Lithium-ion batteries are a huge part of our lives, powering everything from the TV remote to our cellphones and electric vehicles. They’ve become the go-to choice for powering our devices because they offer a winning combination of high energy density, long-lasting performance, and compact size. But as their use grows, we face a pressing challenge: how do we ensure end-of-life batteries are properly recycled and kept out of landfills? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a memo that could impact how processors and recyclers approach recycling end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. The memo emphasizes capturing valuable materials from lithium-ion batteries while preventing environmental harm. This won’t necessarily introduce any new regulations or rules for batteries but instead clarifies how existing universal waste and recycling rules should be applied to batteries. Taking a more sustainable approach to battery recycling is especially important with the growing interest in end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and their handling. What can recycling facilities and processors do to track battery recycling operations more efficiently and ensure their businesses align with the EPA’s stance? Understanding the EPA Memo The memo was released on May 24, 2023 , and by understanding the newly introduced guidelines and incorporating them into operations, processors can navigate the complexities of the battery recycling landscape.
