Byrd is rethinking construction waste to make on-site separation simpler, smarter and more efficient.
-
Byrd has redesigned the construction waste skip, based on real waste data, to enable multiple material streams to be segregated on site within a single bin. It makes source-separation easy for site teams, passing on significant cost savings and detailed analytics to help builders reduce material waste.
-
Construction is a wasteful industry. AU$64B in virgin materials will be sent to landfill over the next five years because waste companies don't enable source-separation. This drives costs higher and leaves builders blind to their waste patterns, which hurts the bottom line. This industry is due for disruption.

- Commercial and residential construction companies, from tier-one down
- Property developers focusing on Greenfields/master planned development sites.
-
- Ongoing pilots with 10+ builders (including three tier-ones)
- > AU$40K revenue while in stealth mode
- Skip bin and software prototypes produced, and the entire solution is Patent-Pending
