What our customers are saying.
Hear from waste operators using WR1 and TRACE, alongside an independent industry perspective.
Industry perspective
Totus Environmental“ISB Global really have been ‘at this game’ for 20 years. I've worked with them now for 17 years and they've never let me down. It's built on experience - and experience of fully integrated waste systems on a SAP pedigree.”
Customer endorsement
RIO | Soils & Aggregates“Our operation handles a constant flow of construction materials, soils and aggregates. DWT is now effectively lights-out: WR1 passes the data to TRACE, TRACE submits it to Defra, and our team only needs to step in when something requires review or correction.”
Customer endorsement
2 Recycling“DWT is now embedded directly into the operational process. The data flows through WR1 and TRACE automatically, with our team only stepping in where an exception needs reviewing.”
Customer endorsement
The Woodhorn Group“We process significant volumes of green waste, so DWT needed to work without adding administration. WR1 and TRACE now handle submissions automatically in the background, leaving our team to focus only on the occasional data exception.”
Customer endorsement
BioteCH4 / EnriCH4“For an AD operation, every inbound movement already contains important operational data. TRACE takes that information directly from WR1 and submits it to DWT automatically, making compliance part of our normal process rather than another administrative task.”
The real DWT challenge
DWT is mandatory. The extra workload doesn't have to be.
Your systems already hold much of the information DWT requires. Yet preparing records, chasing missing details and managing submissions can add unnecessary time and cost.
Duplicate data entry
Information already captured in your systems gets rekeyed and reformatted for reporting.
Missing or incorrect details
Incomplete load information means chasing details before records can be submitted.
Rejected submissions
Failed records create another cycle of investigation, correction and resubmission.
Disconnected systems
Different sites, codes and formats make bringing the information together harder.
Limited visibility
Teams need to know what was submitted, what failed and who needs to act.
