Digital Waste Tracking for Anaerobic Digestion Made Easy
Digital waste tracking for anaerobic digestion doesn't have to mean more paperwork. Anaerobic digestion and composting sites are permitted receiving sites, so Phase 1 digital waste tracking applies to every feedstock load received. We build a bespoke app around how your business works, so every job, weight and signature is captured once, digital waste transfer notes are sent automatically and your Defra records are submitted on time.
How Digital Waste Tracking for Anaerobic Digestion Works
Anaerobic digestion plants and composting sites receive food waste, garden waste, manures and other organic feedstocks from many suppliers. Sites operating under environmental permits must now report each feedstock load to Defra within 2 working days.
Digital waste tracking for anaerobic digestion means capturing each delivery with supplier, carrier, feedstock type, EWC code and weight at the gate, then submitting it automatically. Our app also helps you manage feedstock quality and certification records in the same place.
Every Feedstock Load Reported to Defra
Each delivery is ticketed at the weighbridge or gatehouse, with regular suppliers and feedstocks preset for speed. The app drafts the Defra record, checks it and submits it, tracking the deadline and flagging any rejections.
Feedstock Quality and Contamination Checks
Contamination, such as plastics and packaging in food waste, affects digestate and compost quality. The app records inspections, contamination levels and photos against each load and supplier, so you can manage contracts, apply charges and show regulators you're controlling inputs.
PAS Certification Records
Whether you work to PAS 110 for digestate or PAS 100 for compost, you need clear records linking inputs to outputs. The app records feedstock batches, processing and output, and produces the reports your certification body expects.
When AD and Composting Sites Must Comply
AD and composting sites operating under environmental permits are in Phase 1: mandatory from 1 October 2026 in England and Wales and 1 January 2027 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Sites running under waste exemptions aren't in Phase 1, but are expected to come into scope in a later phase.

Common codes include:
Always confirm codes against the official List of Wastes.
