Key Insights from the 2024 EPA Report: Why Digital Solutions Are Essential
The EPA 2024 Report is clear: Ireland, like the rest of Europe, is under increasing pressure to meet climate neutrality goals by 2050. To achieve this, sectors must adopt new practices and technologies that allow them to decarbonise and reduce waste. A key focus of the report is the need for robust, verifiable data to track environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, resource use, and waste generation.
As Ireland transitions to a circular economy, sectors like construction are increasingly required to manage their material usage and waste more effectively. Construction is a significant source of waste and emissions, and there is a growing need for digital systems that track material use, waste disposal, and emissions in real-time. These systems ensure compliance with regulations and help businesses reduce their environmental footprint.
How Hub360 Supports the Shift to a Sustainable Future
Hub360’s digital solutions align perfectly with the needs highlighted in the EPA report. Our platform provides real-time tracking and verification of material use, emissions, and waste management, helping businesses stay ahead of regulatory requirements. Here’s how Hub360 can support your organisation:
Verifiable Tracking of Materials and Waste: With Hub360, every movement of waste and materials is geo-tagged and time-stamped. This creates a verifiable, audit-ready record that ensures compliance with circular economy directives. The ability to provide proof of material reuse and responsible disposal is increasingly crucial in sectors like construction, where waste management is heavily regulated.
Optimised Resource Use: The EPA report highlights the need for systemic solutions to decouple economic growth from resource use and environmental degradation. Hub360 helps businesses optimise their resource usage by identifying opportunities for reuse and recycling within their operations, reducing both environmental impact and operational costs.
Real-Time Emissions Tracking: With the growing focus on decarbonisation, monitoring carbon emissions is essential. Hub360’s platform provides real-time reporting on carbon emissions related to material transport and waste management, helping businesses track their progress towards climate neutrality targets.
Compliance with Future Regulations: The EPA report outlines increasing legislative pressure on industries to adopt more sustainable practices, from waste management to emissions control. Hub360’s solutions are built to help businesses not only meet current regulations but also prepare for future requirements. As digital record-keeping becomes a standard in government tenders and compliance audits, Hub360 ensures your business is ready.
