Waste & material traceability solution for sustainable facilities
Many companies struggle to connect their waste management activities to broader ESG goals and regulatory requirements. With new frameworks like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) demanding detailed environmental disclosures, organizations need robust data systems to track, measure, and report on their waste-related impacts. Real-time waste data platforms are transforming how businesses approach sustainability reporting, turning operational waste streams into actionable ESG insights.
Traditional waste management often operates in silos, disconnected from sustainability teams and ESG reporting processes. This creates several challenges:
Without integrated systems, companies miss opportunities to demonstrate progress on circular economy goals and struggle to provide the granular data required by modern ESG frameworks.
Modern waste management platforms like Evreka’s WasteDashboard are transforming this challenge. By automatically collecting and standardizing waste data from IoT sensors, collection vehicles, and treatment facilities, these platforms create a single source of truth that aligns with major ESG frameworks.
Instead of manually mapping waste categories to GRI standards, the system automatically tracks waste generation, diversion, and disposal methods. CDP Climate Change questionnaires that once took weeks can now be populated with real-time data showing precise Scope 3 emissions from waste treatment and disposal. CSRD requirements become manageable with automated audit trails and standardized reporting formats.
The real power of integrated waste data becomes apparent through facility-level insights. Rather than viewing waste as a homogeneous cost center, companies can identify specific emission hotspots and optimization opportunities.
A healthcare network discovered through data analysis that suburban facilities generated 40% more waste per patient than urban locations. The platform revealed that different waste segregation practices were driving these variations, with some sites sending recyclable materials to incineration while others achieved 80% diversion rates.
This visibility extends to Scope 3 emissions tracking, where waste-related emissions often represent a significant portion of a company’s carbon footprint. Evreka’s sustainability reporting solutions enable precise calculation of emissions from waste treatment, transportation, and material recovery processes.
Modern platforms transform complex waste streams into compelling visualizations that support ESG storytelling. Dynamic dashboards show diversion rate trends over time, revealing whether zero-waste initiatives are delivering results. Circular economy metrics track material recovery rates, providing concrete evidence of progress toward circular business models.
This visual approach supports benchmarking and target setting. When a retail chain sees that top-performing stores achieve 85% waste diversion while others struggle to reach 60%, they have a clear roadmap for improvement and credible basis for company-wide targets.
Companies implementing real-time waste data platforms report transformational benefits. ESG report preparation time drops by up to 70% as manual processes become automated. Data quality improves dramatically with the elimination of manual errors that previously undermined report credibility.
More importantly, these platforms enable data-driven decision-making that drives both environmental and financial performance. When companies see the real-time cost and environmental impact of different waste treatment options, they make better choices that reduce both emissions and expenses.
Real-time waste data platforms represent more than a technological upgrade—they’re a strategic investment in ESG leadership. By connecting operational waste streams to reporting frameworks, organizations can demonstrate genuine progress on circular economy goals while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
