Environmental Impact

Taking action on climate

Tipaload is building a logistics network that cuts waste in construction by matching jobs to nearby trucks, digitising dockets, and paying carriers fast. We will use these levers to lower empty kilometres, reduce on-site idle time, and move more material to compliant tip and recycling sites.

Our approach

Transparent reporting

Measure and publish baseline metrics for empty kilometres, job-to-job "deadhead," on-site wait time, and digital vs paper dockets. Convert to CO₂-e using recognised factors, and report trends twice yearly.

Minimise our footprint

Prioritise cloud-first operations, 100% digital dockets, and efficient routing features to avoid unnecessary trips.

Enable partners to decarbonise

Integrate approved tip and recycling sites in-app so shippers can choose compliant destinations and carriers spend less time queuing and detouring.

Design for resilience

Standardised workflows and instant payouts help small carriers stay solvent and maintain well-kept fleets, improving safety and reducing breakdown-related waste.

What we will measure

Starting from launch of our sustainability program, we will track and aim to improve:

  • Empty-kilometre rate per completed job (pre- and post-match).
  • On-site idle time before loading and at tip sites.
  • Share of digital dockets across all jobs.
  • Share of loads tipped at approved facilities (recycling where available).

We will publish methodology, baselines, and progress targets in our first Sustainability Update.

Commitments & goals

Efficient matching by default

Build and refine algorithms to reduce deadhead by routing carriers to nearby work and tip sites, including multi-stop chains where appropriate.

Paperless operations

Make digital dockets the default across shipper and carrier apps, and retire paper flows where regulation allows.

Responsible disposal pathways

Expand in-app discovery of tip/recycling sites and surface pricing, hours, and accepted materials to cut guesswork and detours.

Product expansion for circular outcomes

As we add bins, excavators, and materials ordering, design flows that preference recycling and reduce double handling.

Fair, fast payments

Maintain 24-hour payouts to carriers so small operators can maintain vehicles and plan work efficiently, reducing wasteful downtime.

Roadmap to impact

Near-term (execute)

Instrument the platform for distance, time, and docket telemetry; launch sustainability dashboards for internal use; publish definitions and baselines.

Mid-term (scale)

Open a shipper choice set for recycling-preferred tip sites; pilot "smart chaining" to link nearby jobs; publish first external Sustainability Update.

Long-term (lead)

Partner with facilities and councils to increase recycling throughput, and explore incentives for low-emission vehicles as the market matures.

How we'll get there

Tipaload is a marketplace, not a waste operator. Our impact comes from better matching, cleaner workflows, and data-driven choices in the construction haulage chain. We will prove this with open methods, regular reporting, and product features that make the sustainable choice the easy choice.
