In today’s rapidly evolving construction and infrastructure sectors, road planing recovery represents a significant untapped opportunity for optimisation and growth. With annual material recoveries valued at millions of euros, organisations face growing pressure to ensure compliance, improve efficiency, and meet sustainability benchmarks. Here’s why digitising road planing recovery with Hub360 is not just a smart move but an essential one for future success.

The Opportunity: Turning Challenges into Advantages

Road planings, a by-product of infrastructure renewal, hold immense value. For example, an organisation recovering 350,000 tonnes annually could generate between €3.22 million and €6.44 million in material value. However, without robust tracking and reporting mechanisms, much of this value is at risk due to inefficiencies, losses, and non-compliance.

Key challenges include:

• Regulatory Compliance*: Increasingly strict EU regulations, such as Circular Economy targets and EPA guidelines, demand detailed, audit-ready material recovery and reuse trails.

• Operational Inefficiencies: Manual processes like paper dockets and spreadsheets often lead to inaccuracies and wasted time.

• Revenue Leakage: Poor tracking can result in significant material loss annually, conservatively estimated at 5% but potentially reaching 30-50% in some instances, amounting to substantial revenue losses.

• Market Expectations: Clients now prioritise transparency and sustainability, making compliance a competitive differentiator.

Why Now?

The industry is at a critical juncture. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and market demands for sustainability, organisations cannot afford to rely on outdated, paper-based systems. Hub360 provides the tools needed to future-proof operations, secure compliance, and unlock significant cost savings.

Explanation of Costs

• Compliance Costs: These refer to the expenses associated with meeting regulatory requirements, including creating and maintaining audit-ready documentation, hiring third-party auditors, avoiding fines, and managing the administrative workload required for compliance.

• Labour Costs: These cover the time and effort spent on manual processes, such as recording material movements, creating compliance reports, and reconciling errors caused by inefficient tracking systems. Automating these tasks with Hub360 significantly reduces these costs by streamlining operations and eliminating manual errors.
