Streamlined waste management and real-time reporting for GMI Construction

When GMI Construction approached us, they faced a familiar challenge: fragmented reporting, inconsistent data, and a lack of visibility across multiple sites. Their waste management process was often manual, time-consuming, and inefficient, making compliance with sustainability targets harder to achieve.

What we delivered

With projects spanning multiple regions, they are committed to delivering sustainable developments while meeting the highest standards of quality and compliance.

    Streamlined waste management across every site 

    As a future-facing airline with a strong commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, Aer Lingus is committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, an extremely ambitious target for an airline. The company wanted to invite its onboard passengers to play a part in its efforts, and CEO, Lynne Embleton, commented that “we know from our customers that recycling is something the vast majority want to see on flights. We have been eager to introduce this for some time.”

    Transforming reporting with real-time, accurate data 

    At the heart of this solution is Panda’s integration with SmartWaste via API. This eliminates manual data entry, automates reporting, and ensures GMI has access to accurate, real-time waste metrics. With faster decision-making and better oversight, compliance with schemes like BREEAM has become simpler and more robust. 

    Driving value through nationwide coverage and smart integrations 

    Our approach does more than simplify operations. With a 95% recycling and recovery rate and zero waste sent to landfill, we’ve helped GMI achieve ambitious sustainability goals while reducing their carbon footprint. Reliable, proactive support, from adjusting schedules to helping with audits, ensures GMI’s teams can stay focused on building, not managing waste.

The SmartWaste integration and consistent service across all locations are significant advantages. You’ve helped turn waste management from a logistical challenge into a strategic asset for our sustainability agenda.
