Envirocon unique software platform Envirotrac provides indepth analysis on concrete waste and waste diversion, including auditable reports for sustainability accreditation systems.
There are three primary approaches to dealing with excess ready mix concrete:
- drying it and sending it to a landfill,
- drying it and crushing it, or
- reusing it in its original form.
The first method, sending it to a landfill, is the least sustainable as it is a waste of resources.
The second method, crushing it, is also undesirable as it further increases the carbon intensity of an already carbon-intensive process.
The most circular and sustainable method is to reuse the concrete in its uncured, original form.
This approach minimises the use of new materials or processes and maximises the value of the resource. Envirocon specialises in this method and has perfected it over 19 years of operation. As an accredited product stewardship scheme, we are committed to minimising waste and maximising sustainability in the ready mix concrete industry.
As sustainability awareness continues to increase, there is a growing demand for more circular economy outcomes in the construction sector. Concrete constitutes a significant portion of the materials used in construction, leading to a substantial waste stream.
If sustainability is a combination of low carbon and zero waste - Envirocon is the zero waste solution for the ready mix concrete and construction industries.
By managing excess concrete using a circular economy approach, we not only eliminate waste in the ready mix concrete industry, but we also achieve a closed-loop system where our precast concrete products can be reused repeatedly. This sustainable approach ensures that we maximise the value of our resources and minimise environmental impact.
We have made a strong commitment to transparency in our supply chain. In the last three years, we have dedicated significant resources to build Envirotrac, a software package designed to track sustainability.
This innovative tool allows our customers and their clients to easily monitor and report on waste management, providing auditable reports and diversion certificates for compliance with sustainability reporting requirements.
Envirotrac enables our customers, including Ready Mix Concrete members and their clients, to effectively monitor all ready mix concrete waste generated from a project. This powerful tool provides detailed auditable reports and diversion certificates to ensure compliance with sustainability reporting requirements.
With Envirotrac, tracking and managing waste has never been easier, allowing us to achieve our goal of maximising sustainability in the ready mix concrete industry.
