SmartWaste webinar: The UK construction benchmark report: a decade of data

When: Thursday 25 June, 2026 11:00am BST
The UK construction sector produces over 60% of the country’s total waste. Organisations report against this figure constantly. Very few can say with confidence whether they are ahead of the industry or behind it.
This webinar launches the SmartWaste benchmark report. Built from a decade of real project data, it tracks key performance indicators across waste, energy and water, to create the most comprehensive picture of UK construction’s environmental performance to date. Join us to see what the data reveals, and where the benchmarks are heading.
What you will take away
- How your waste, energy and water performance compares to national benchmarks.
- Where the industry has made genuine progress over the past decade – and where it has not.
- Which metrics are tightening fastest, and what that signals for tender requirements and client expectations.
- Practical steps to position your organisation ahead of the curve using auditable, evidence-based data.
- Early access to the full benchmark report.
Who should attend this webinar?
This session is designed for sustainability managers, environmental managers, commercial directors, and senior leaders in tier 1 and tier 2 construction contractors or anyone responsible for ESG reporting, waste strategy, or demonstrating environmental credentials in tenders and client bids.
