BRE develops sustainable tools

SMARTStartLG was developed in partnership with Movement for Innovation (M4I). This tool is recommended to help:

It is a waste auditing and benchmarking tool to help inform and influence decisions on process re-engineering and to maximise opportunities for waste minimisation. The system allows monitoring of segregation targets throughout the lifetime of a project and encourages continual improvement.

This tool has been trialled by Durham County Council and some of its contractors in a strategic partnership. This trial involves approximately 15 to 20 projects.
Also part of the range of tools is BREMAP, a web-based GIS system developed by BRE and funded by Biffaward through Landfill Tax Credits and a grant from the Institution of Civil Engineers R&D Enabling Fund.
