The law requires me to trace waste flows starting from their departure from a site:
- It is no longer possible to trace waste only at its point of arrival at a treatment facility.
- I need a solution that ensures efficient traceability of waste throughout its value chain.
- I need to be able to prove my compliance with the law and good practices.
- I need a practical and an easy-to-use solution for my operators and subcontractors.

43.5 million tonnes
of construction waste produced in France every year
Divide by 4
greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2050
Reduce by 50%
the amount of waste sent to landfills by 2025
70%
of construction waste recycled, target set by the EU
3 years
the minimum conservation period for supporting documents
Challenges for the principal :
The Project Owner must ensure compliance with REP obligations
Establish a regulatory database for all site flows:
- Accurate, complete, and auditable for at least 3 years
Limit the use of new materials and improve material recovery:
- Systematically identify and quantify materials and waste
Prevent illegal dumping:
- Receive alerts concerning specific events
- Identify site flows at their arrival and departure from site
“The SGP’s sustainable development department considers the traceability of excavated soil to be a key element in reducing the project’s carbon impact.“

The client must be able to provide proof of exemplary execution of the project
Provide factual evidence:
- Information supported by images and geo-location data
- Available in real time
- Waste tracking notes (BSDs) generated in real time and available remotely
Ensure safety on site and during transit:
- By limiting risk situations, including overloading
Limit nuisances for local residents
Project owners also need to generate complete reports easily and do away with Excel…
Follow-up on the activity with an intuitive interface:
- Generate graphs and exports on all parameters
- For any period, for any participant in the value chain, and on the transported contents
Calculate the carbon footprint reduction from key data:
- Detailed information on transport flows, including type of vehicle, weight, and distance travelled
- Detailed information on the material recovery and the exact quantity per type of waste
“Our aim is to have precise data on the volume of excavated material on our sites – % of materials reused and recycled, % of polluted soil – and to generate reports on the overall impact of waste on our operations and on our carbon footprint.“
