Lifting the Load: How Hub360 Supports County Councils on the Road to 2030
Introduction: A Rising Tide of Responsibility
As Ireland advances towards its 2030 climate and circular economy goals, county councils find themselves at the forefront of this national transformation. From emissions reporting to waste oversight and compliance with the Circular Economy Act, local authorities are tasked with an unprecedented administrative burden. Yet, staffing and resources remain stretched.
Enter Hub360
Hub360 is not just a platform. It's a partner—designed with the realities of local government in mind. Our mission is to simplify compliance, automate data reporting, and empower councils to deliver results without burnout.
The 2030 Challenge: Climate Targets & Circular Economy Commitments
Ireland’s 2030 targets demand measurable progress on reducing emissions, increasing reuse and recycling, and delivering resource efficiency. Local authorities are central to achieving these goals, particularly through planning, public works, procurement, and waste enforcement.
County councils now face:
Increased demand for CSRD-aligned data from suppliers and contractors—especially for public tenders in infrastructure and waste
Circular Economy reporting, requiring data on reuse, material flows, and waste prevention
Increased oversight on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes and how local supply chains contribute
Public procurement rules requiring carbon and circularity metrics for infrastructure projects
The Administrative Load is Growing
Circular economy targets aren’t just environmental—they come with complex reporting structures. Councils must now provide transparent data for national dashboards, EU reporting, and internal planning decisions. This includes:
Auditable data on waste material flows
Reports on reused construction materials
Real-time evidence of CO₂ emissions from transport, haulage, and site operations
Oversight on subcontractors and producer responsibility schemes
How Hub360 Helps: Practical Tools for Busy Councils
Hub360 is built to make compliance simple and scalable.
Automated Emissions Reporting: Capture Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions directly from fleet and haulage telematics
Circular Materials Tracker: Log and categorise material reuse, transport cycles, and waste recovery activities
Dashboards: Tailored views for project managers, procurement officers, and environmental teams
Producer Responsibility Oversight: Monitor subcontractor compliance with EPR schemes and material sourcing
Tender-Ready Reports: Export reports data for CSRD
Case in Point: Empowering Local Action
In Monaghan, Hub360 enabled council staff to:
Track emissions from road planing projects
Log active haulage cycles
Export real-time reports with zero manual entry
The result?
Faster compliance, clearer data for internal planning, and stronger performance on national targets.
Beyond Compliance: Building Local Resilience
By embracing digital tools like Hub360, councils can:
Reduce administrative workload
Improve funding eligibility for climate and circular economy grants
Deliver transparent, auditable progress on climate action plans
Lead by example in their communities
Local Authorities Deserve Smart Support
Ireland’s climate ambitions rest heavily on the shoulders of local government. Hub360 understands that burden—and offers a way to carry it smarter, not heavier. By automating oversight, simplifying reporting, and empowering staff with real-time insights, we make it possible for councils to meet their 2030 targets without burning out.
