Our mission
Discover the story of the Construction Waste Portal
We're a purpose-led organisation
Driving industry change
The Construction Waste Portal was born from a very simple idea: to use crowdsourced waste data to drive improved resource efficiency in the construction industry.
What if we create a product that changes the industry? A product that not only shifts the perceptions of construction waste, but also reduces the amount of waste, and drives efficiency and circularity.
The
History
The Construction Waste Portal was an idea conceived by our founder and Operations Director, John Logan, in 2018. Since then, we've been on a journey to transform the industry, make construction waste management more circular, and reduce construction waste.
