The environmental paperwork is made at the compound.
Skip tickets, segregation instructions, product data, photographs. A printed code keeps them where they are produced and where they are needed — which happens to be the same place.
Why environmental records go missing on site
The ticket stays in the cab
The skip goes, the driver hands over a docket, and it spends the next fortnight folded in a jacket. When somebody asks months later what left the site and where it went, the honest answer is that nobody kept track.
Nobody is sure which skip takes what
Segregation works when the instruction is at the skip, in the language of whoever is holding the offcut. Pinned to a noticeboard in the cabin, it is a rule that exists on paper and not in the compound.
The evidence is on someone's phone
Photos of a spill, of a bund, of how the compound looked on the day: taken by whoever noticed, stored where nobody else can find them, and gone the day that person changes phone or leaves the job.
Not more paperwork —
Nothing here asks anyone to write more. It asks that what is already written down, or photographed, ends up somewhere other than a jacket pocket.
A record made where the load leaves
A code by the compound. Whoever sends a load away scans it and logs what went, when, and with whom — timed by our servers rather than written from memory at the end of the week. The register exports in full as CSV whenever you need it.
Segregation instructions at the skip
The instruction sheet, in a code stuck to the compound gate. Change what goes in which skip and the printed code serves the new version at the next scan — no reprint, and no old sheet left up beside it.
Product data where the product is stored
Safety data sheets and product information on the store door rather than in a binder. The person who needs to know how to handle something is standing next to it, which is exactly where the document is not, usually.
Photos that carry their own date
Photos attached to a scan are stamped by the server, not by the phone. Whoever took them, they end up in the same register as everything else — and they stay there after that person has moved on to another job.
We do not calculate anything, and we certify nothing
There is no carbon figure in this product, no rating, no certificate. Producing one would mean inventing a number, and an invented number is worse than none at all on a subject where somebody may rely on it.
What you get is the evidence underneath: what left the site, what was stored, what the product data said, and photographs that carry a server time-stamp. Whoever does your reporting works from that rather than from a shoebox.
Start at the compound gate
One code, on the gate, holding the segregation instructions and collecting what leaves. It is the cheapest test of the whole idea: either the register fills up on its own, or you have learned something for the price of a laminated sheet.
