Construction Waste Management and Sustainability Process

Start of the Workflow/Process.

Create a new Waste Management Plan entry for a specific construction site.

Update the Waste Management Plan entry with the assigned personnel responsible for site oversight.

Create a task for the Site Manager to conduct an initial audit of expected waste streams (concrete, wood, metal, etc.).

Create individual entries for each identified waste type (e.g., 'Timber', 'Hazardous', 'Steel') linked to the main Plan.

Retrieve existing sustainability target values from the Global Sustainability Standards data model.

Calculate the required diversion rate percentage based on the total estimated waste volume.

Create a task to coordinate with third-party waste contractors for regular pickups.

Link a specific vendor entry to the Waste Stream Profile for a specific waste type.

Create a recurring weekly task to verify that all waste transfer notes have been uploaded.

Retrieve all weight entries recorded in the Waste Logs for the current week.

Sum the weight property of all waste entries for the current period to calculate total site impact.

Aggregate weight of recycled materials vs. total waste weight to determine the percentage of diversion.

Compare the actual recycling rate against the initial diversion target to find the percentage gap.

Send an email to the Sustainability Officer if the calculated recycling rate falls below the threshold.

Create a comprehensive report summarizing waste volumes, costs, and diversion success for stakeholders.

Update the status of the Waste Management Plan to 'Completed' once the project is finished.

Create a task for the Project Lead to document 'Lessons Learned' regarding waste reduction.

End of the Workflow/Process.
