Wales has 245,310 social homes, of which 47% do not yet meet WHQS 2023 standards. This creates a massive retrofit pipeline over the next decade, generating enormous volumes of construction waste that must be tracked, diverted, and reported under increasingly stringent ESG requirements. Combined with new-build developments, the opportunity for circular construction is significant.

Our Solution
TroCymru intercepts construction waste on-site, tracks every material with QR codes, and delivers WLCA-aligned carbon savings and social value metrics. We cover most external and internal schemes linked to WHQS Retrofit Programmes — kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, windows, doors, external wall insulation, and electrical upgrades — as well as new-build developments where up to 80% of waste is hard plastics (drainage pipes, uPVC fascia offcuts). We provide audit-ready ESG data — not just waste disposal.
Fly-Tipping Prevention for Local Authorities
Two local authorities have requested TroCymru's QR chain-of-custody system to prevent fly-tipping. Every waste load leaving a property is QR-tagged, photographed, GPS-stamped, and tracked to its licensed waste station. This creates an unbroken digital evidence trail that makes prosecution straightforward — and, more importantly, deters fly-tipping before it happens.
Three Service Layers
A structured system that transforms construction waste into measurable operational, financial, and environmental outcomes.
Operational Layer
We do the work
On-site material interception, segregation, and recovery — with full traceability built in. Designed to reduce waste at source and improve control across site operations. Providing immediate operational and cost efficiencies on site.
Commercial model tailored following site assessment
Data Layer
We create value from it
A programme-level data layer that converts site activity into compliance-ready ESG, carbon, and social value data. Full material traceability supporting compliance and duty of care obligations.
Commercial model tailored following site assessment
Strategic Layer
We scale it across programmes
Embed TroCymru across programmes to deliver measurable financial, environmental, and social outcomes at scale. Connecting site operations with organisational strategy and reporting requirements.
