WasteTracker, a leading waste tracking and ESG data solution designed specifically for real estate, has officially joined the Smart Building Collective | Certification program. This partnership marks a significant step toward integrating smart waste management into the broader smart building ecosystem, reinforcing the role of sustainability and data-driven decision-making in real estate operations.
As commercial buildings increasingly adopt smart technologies to optimize energy use, improve air quality, and enhance tenant experiences, waste management remains a critical yet often overlooked component of ESG strategies. WasteTracker addresses this gap by providing real estate professionals with waste registration sets, real-time data, and actionable insights to support accurate waste reporting and long-term reduction strategies.
WasteTracker contributes to GRESB scoring, making it a valuable tool for property owners and asset managers looking to enhance their ESG performance. Designed in accordance with Directive EU 2022/2464 and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS E5), WasteTracker ensures compliance with evolving sustainability regulations. Additionally, its partnership with Zero Waste Europe strengthens its ability to guide clients on their Zero Waste strategies.
“The future of smart buildings goes beyond energy efficiency and tenant experience—it’s about complete operational intelligence,” said Renata Hartle, CEO at WasteTracker. “Joining the Smart Building Collective | Certification allows us to collaborate with like-minded innovators who are shaping the future of sustainable real estate. By integrating smart waste tracking into the smart building conversation, we’re empowering property owners with the insights they need to make meaningful waste reduction decisions.”
Nicholas White, Managing Partner at Smart Building Collective | Certification, welcomed WasteTracker into the certification ecosystem: “We are pleased to help WasteTracker fill this incredible gap in the market. In all of our building certifications, smart waste tracking has always been seen as a challenge. The ability to track, report, and reduce waste is a crucial element of responsible building management.

Their expertise will be invaluable to the industry as we push for better ESG reporting and actionable sustainability practices.”
As regulatory pressures and investor expectations for sustainability continue to rise, smart waste tracking is becoming an essential component of commercial real estate operations. By combining technology with real-world real estate expertise, WasteTracker is at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that waste management is not just a compliance requirement but a strategic advantage.
