Materials Recovery Rate Tool

Waste management contractors and MRF operators working in the construction industry can now offer their clients complete transparency on the recovery rates achieved on their behalf, thanks to an innovative measurement tool being launched by WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme).

The freely available Site Specific Waste Analysis Tool (SSWAT) allows waste contractors to track each consignment of construction, demolition and excavation waste processed at their facilities, reporting exactly how - and in what quantities - the materials have been recovered. Historically, it has been rare for operators to offer customer-specific recycling information of this type, relying instead on monthly or quarterly figures based on total throughput.
