Ecodrop
Eco Drop: Digital App for construction waste collection .
Ecodrop is the most practical, economical and eco-responsible solution for the site waste of building tradesmen.
The company was born from a simple observation: craftsmen see the management of their waste as a complex and expensive problem, and find it difficult to pass the cost of their treatment on to the quotes of their private customers. Too much of this waste therefore ends up in our forests, or along our roads. While this waste could be as much recycled material, and reintegrated into the production of new products, or transformed into energy.
