Waste & Recycling Dashboard
Understand and reduce your waste impact. NetNada's Waste Dashboard tracks waste generation, diversion rates, and associated carbon emissions—giving you the metrics needed to improve recycling, reduce landfill, and progress toward circular economy goals.
How It Works
The Waste & Recycling Dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into waste streams across your organisation. Track physical waste quantities (tonnes, cubic metres) alongside carbon emissions to understand both operational and environmental impact.
Upload Waste Data
Import waste collection records, bin weights, or contractor reports through Task Manager or Carbon Data Uploader. Activity-based data (tonnes, cubic metres) provides full dashboard functionality; spend-based data populates emissions only.
Categorise Waste Streams
The system categorises waste by stream type—landfill, recycling, composting, paper, hazardous, etc. Each stream has specific emission factors reflecting different disposal methods and environmental impacts.
Monitor Generation Trends
Area charts show monthly waste generation by stream type. Identify seasonal patterns, track waste reduction initiatives, and understand how operational changes affect waste volumes.
Calculate Diversion Rate
The dashboard automatically calculates your diversion rate—the percentage of waste diverted from landfill through recycling, composting, and other recovery methods. Track progress toward zero-waste goals.
Quantify Carbon Impact
See the emissions associated with your waste disposal. Landfill generates methane; recycling and composting have different emission profiles. Understand how waste management choices affect your carbon footprint.
Why Use NetNada's Waste & Recycling Dashboard
Complete Waste Visibility
See all waste streams in one view—landfill, recycling, composting, paper, hazardous, electronic. Understand your total waste generation and where each stream goes.
Track Diversion Progress
The diversion rate KPI shows what percentage of waste avoids landfill. Monitor progress toward targets like 80% diversion or zero waste to landfill.
Link Waste to Emissions
Waste management has carbon implications. Landfill generates methane emissions; recycling and composting have lower impacts. The dashboard connects waste decisions to climate outcomes.
Identify Improvement Opportunities
Waste stream breakdowns reveal where to focus improvement efforts. If 40% of waste is recyclable paper going to landfill, that's a clear opportunity.
Facility Benchmarking
Compare waste performance across sites. Identify best practices at high-performing facilities and apply lessons to sites with higher waste generation or lower diversion rates.
Circular Economy Reporting
Track metrics required for circular economy reporting and waste-related disclosures. Diversion rates, waste intensities, and stream breakdowns support multiple reporting frameworks.
Who Needs Waste & Recycling Dashboard
Facilities Managers Managing Waste Contracts
Understand waste generation patterns to optimise bin sizes, collection frequencies, and contractor relationships. Track whether waste reduction initiatives actually reduce volumes.
Sustainability Managers Reporting Waste Metrics
Generate waste generation, diversion rate, and waste emissions figures for sustainability reports. Support GRI, CDP, and other frameworks requiring waste disclosures.
Operations Leaders Reducing Waste Costs
Waste disposal is expensive. Understanding waste streams helps identify opportunities to reduce generation, improve recycling, and lower waste management costs.
Hospitality and Events Businesses
High waste-generating industries need clear visibility into waste streams. Track event-by-event or venue-by-venue waste to understand and improve performance.
Manufacturing Companies
Production processes generate significant waste. Track waste intensity (waste per unit produced), identify process improvements, and report progress to customers and investors.
Waste & Recycling Dashboard Features
Total Waste KPI
Physical weight of waste generated in tonnes across all streams and facilities. Track total waste reduction over time.
Diversion Rate
Percentage of waste diverted from landfill through recycling, composting, reuse, and recovery. Key metric for circular economy reporting.
Waste Streams Count
Number of unique waste categories tracked across your organisation. Understand the diversity of your waste profile.
Waste Emissions
Total carbon emissions (tCO₂e) associated with waste disposal. Reflects different emission factors for landfill, recycling, composting, and other disposal methods.
Generation Trend Charts
Area chart showing monthly waste generation by stream type. Visualise patterns, track initiatives, and identify anomalies.
Weight Breakdown Donut
Percentage distribution of waste by weight across streams. See at a glance what proportion goes to landfill versus recycling.
Volume Breakdown Donut
Cubic metre visualisation showing physical space occupied by different waste streams. Useful for bin sizing and logistics planning.
Facility Filter
Filter dashboard by specific sites to see facility-level waste performance. Compare sites and identify best practices.
Real Results from Real Users
See how companies are transforming their sustainability reporting
"Events generate enormous amounts of waste. The Waste Dashboard showed us that 35% of our 'landfill' waste was actually recyclable. We implemented better signage and bin placement, improving diversion from 45% to 72%."
- Identified 35% recyclables in landfill stream
- Improved diversion rate from 45% to 72%
- Reduced waste emissions by 28%
"With 100+ venues, waste costs were significant but opaque. The dashboard revealed which venues had the highest waste intensity, allowing us to focus waste reduction programs where they'd have the biggest impact."
- Benchmarked waste intensity across 100+ venues
- Identified top 10 venues for waste reduction focus
- Reduced total waste generation by 15%
"The weight versus volume breakdown was surprisingly useful. We realised our high-volume packaging waste was actually low-weight. Compacting improved our bin utilisation significantly."
- Understood weight vs volume relationship
- Reduced collection frequency by 30%
- Lower waste management costs
