Manage waste streams end to end — generation, transport, treatment, disposal — apply emission factors, and produce the ESG numbers regulators and customers ask for. Tied directly to Manufacturing, Food Production and the wider Compliance Suite.
The hauler sends a paper consignment note. The treatment certificate arrives by email weeks later. A sustainability analyst opens a workbook every quarter and types the same tonnages into another tool to produce an ESG number.
When the auditor asks where a stream went and what factor was used, the answer is three systems, two inboxes and a phone call to the plant. Response365 puts generation, transport, treatment, disposal and emission factors on one record — and produces the report from the same data.
Category, generation point, quantity, hauler, treatment site, route and disposal record — on the row the auditor opens. No reconciliation between the plant log, the consignment note and the certificate.
DEFRA, IPCC, EPA and supplier-specific factors — versioned, dated, and applied automatically to the right category and route. The tCO₂e number always shows the factor it came from.
GRI, ESRS/CSRD, CDP and operator-defined ESG formats produced from the same waste rows — not from a separate database refreshed once a quarter.
Every kilogram leaves the plant on a row that follows it all the way to the disposal certificate — and the emission factor that converted it to tCO₂e.
Waste is logged at the source — plant, line or activity — with EWC category, hazard class and measured quantity.
On-site storage, container and segregation rules tracked; lot-style identifiers carry forward.
Hauler, consignment number, vehicle and distance recorded — the paper note becomes a row.
Treatment site, route (R/D code) and certificate attached. Recovery, recycling, incineration or landfill — the answer is on the record.
Final disposition logged with date, weight reconciled and any residual stream linked back.
Category- and route-specific factor pulled from the source library — DEFRA, IPCC, EPA or supplier.
The stream contributes a tCO₂e value to the period report. generation to disposal, on one row
Every stream is a single object with category, owner, route and emissions — not a folder of PDFs.
Every tCO₂e on the report can be traced to a factor, a source, a version and a date applied.
Recovery is not the same as recycling, and incineration is not the same as landfill. The record knows the difference, and so does the report.
GRI, ESRS/CSRD, CDP and operator-defined templates produced directly from waste rows — with the factor, source and vintage that produced each number cited per line.
Every stream carries the consignment note, treatment certificate and disposal record. Click the report line, see the streams, click a stream, see the documents.
Total tCO₂e, diversion rate, recycling rate and waste intensity per unit produced — by site, by line and by category, on the same data the regulator sees.
Waste is generated by a work order, a production line or a logistics movement — and Response365 already runs those. The stream record references the activity that produced it, so the auditor can walk from a tCO₂e number back to the run that created the material. Explore Manufacturing
Streams, treatment certificates and emission factors plug into the same evidence model the Compliance Suite uses for GDPR, ISO and industry frameworks. One audit trail, one access log, one retention policy. Explore the Compliance Suite

The conservative annual case for a multi-site operator running ESG reporting and a standalone waste tracker today.
Retire the standalone ESG vendor — Sphera, Greenstone or equivalent — and the per-site annual licence that comes with it.
Consignment notes, treatment certificates and disposal records captured on the stream — analyst and plant time no longer spent reconciling paper.
External audit and inspection prep collapses to filtering the same rows — no quarterly scramble across inboxes and binders.
Before counting penalty avoidance from missed consignment paperwork and the procurement leverage of a defensible Scope 3 waste number.
Let us show you in seven minutes how a kilogram leaving a production line becomes a consignment note, a treatment certificate and a tCO₂e line on the ESG report — without anyone retyping anything.
