The Construction Sector Supports Digital Innovations in Construction Waste Tracking
The "Supporting the Circular Economy Transition in the Irish Construction Sector" The Construction Sector Group (CSG) Report to the Department of The Environment, Climate & Communications highlights the urgent need for digital innovations in waste tracking.
The report highlights the importance of leveraging technology to improve construction and demolition (C&D) waste management and ensure compliance with Ireland’s 2030 circular economy targets.
With stricter EU and EPA regulations requiring accurate waste tracking and reporting, the report recognises that digital tools are essential in enabling construction firms to efficiently monitor waste generation, diversion, and material recovery rates.
