Business Description
In Australia alone, over 19 million tonnes of construction/demolition waste goes to landfill every year of which approximately 10.5 million tonnes or 55% is recovered and re-used.
Furthermore, these numbers do not include the large volume of construction overage and re-useable materials that are stored prior to the landfill with the intention of future use.
In most cases, however, these materials are not re-used, remain in storage indefinitely and are ultimately disposed of at a later date. The process of transportation, storage, and subsequent disposal is costly, time-consuming and ineffective.
Understanding that this current process is inefficient and that a large portion of construction waste that goes to landfill is re-useable there is the need for an effective alternative.
Hence Tradie Trade.
Tradie Trade is a Mobile Application that seeks to re-purpose and re-distribute high quality, construction overage and re-usable materials to the Home Renovation and DIY market, prior to it being deposited in a landfill.
Via the platform, Tradesmen has the option to trade their overages and re-useable materials with local Home Renovators / DIY’ers – and are rewarded for doing so.
This mitigates the time, cost and need for unnecessary storage and disposal.
For Tradesman, the result is a simple, easy and cost-effective alternative to the storage and disposal of ‘waste’.
For the consumer, a direct connection with previously inaccessible, high quality, construction materials at fraction of the retail cost.
