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.

Let’s Work Together

If your council is looking for a partner in emissions tracking, circular reporting, and EPR compliance—Hub360 is ready to help. Let’s turn your workload into meaningful, measurable climate impact.
