Illegal Dumping in the Construction Sector
Combat Illegal Dumping with Hub360
Illegal dumping is a growing issue in Ireland, driven by the rapid increase in Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste, which rose from 3 million tonnes in 2014 to 9 million tonnes in 2021.
This alarming growth, statistics provided by the EPA, highlights the need for stringent oversight and circular economy practices.
Hub360 offers tools to monitor material & waste movements, ensure compliance, and help transition to sustainable material management practices.
Key Features for Tackling Illegal Dumping
Comprehensive Waste Monitoring: Record geo- and time-stamped data for all waste movements, ensuring full transparency.
Regulatory Compliance: Automate verified documentation to meet national and EU waste management laws and prevent unauthorised waste disposal.
Anomaly Detection: Identify and address irregular activity patterns in reported data to mitigate illegal dumping risks.
Circular Economy Support: Facilitate the reuse and recycling of materials, aligning with EPA guidelines for reducing waste and carbon emissions.
Audit-Ready Reporting: Provide detailed records to support enforcement efforts and compliance reviews.
Why Illegal Dumping Matters
Illegal dumping has severe consequences for the environment, communities, and businesses:
Environmental Harm: Unregulated waste disposal leads to soil, water, and air contamination.
Regulatory Non-Compliance: Violations of waste management laws can result in fines and reputational damage.
Economic Costs: Illegal dumping increases project costs and diverts resources from sustainable waste management practices.
By leveraging Hub360, contractors and authorities can minimize these risks, ensuring responsible waste management.
How Hub360 Addresses Illegal Dumping Challenges
Comprehensive Waste Monitoring
Problem: Untracked waste movements create opportunities for illegal dumping.
Solution: Hub360’s real-time geo- and time-stamped tracking eliminates ambiguity, ensuring every load is documented and accounted for.
Anomaly Detection
Problem: Detecting suspicious waste disposal activities is time-consuming, challenging, and often results in issues going unnoticed.
Solution: Hub360 simplifies anomaly detection by collecting comprehensive data that highlights irregularities. This allows teams to focus on resolving issues efficiently, saving time and enabling them to achieve more instead of manually searching for problems.
Circular Economy Support
Problem: High levels of C&D waste indicate missed opportunities for material reuse, leading to increased environmental and economic costs.
Solution: Hub360’s robust monitoring system significantly increases the likelihood of adherence to circular economy principles and legal requirements. By tracking materials in real time, it ensures opportunities for reuse are maximized, waste is minimized, and Ireland’s transition to a circular economy, as advocated by the EPA, is actively supported.
