w10. SWP Reporting Flashcards
(15 cards)
What is SWP reporting used for?
SWP reporting is used to produce detailed recycling reports in waste management software.
How does the SWP report present data for each site?
The report goes through each site one by one, showing itemised or summary data for waste collections.
What are SWP categories?
SWP categories are specific waste types or grades used to break down and report on collected waste.
What is a split type in SWP reporting?
A split type is a category at the top of the report that shows where the waste is sent, such as landfill, recovery, or cycle.
Why might a client set up custom split types?
Clients can set up custom split types to reflect how they allocate their waste to different destinations, according to their business needs.
How are mixed construction and demolition wastes treated differently in SWP reports?
Even if a load is marked as mixed construction and demolition, the report uses SWP percentages to break it down into more specific waste categories for detailed reporting.
What happens when a waste stream is collected in its own container (e.g., wood)?
If a waste stream like wood is collected in its own container, it is assumed to be 100% of that material unless there is a compliance issue.
How does the report handle changes in waste management practices over time?
Clients can create new split lists to reflect changes in how waste is allocated, so older reports use the old breakdown and new reports use the updated one.
What is the difference between SWP splits and grade splits?
SWP splits show how waste is allocated by SWP categories, while grade splits show allocation by all grades in the grades table, using the same logic.
How are tonnage and volume displayed in the SWP report?
Tonnage is shown in black and volume is shown in red in the report.
Why might plasterboard appear in the report even if it’s not an SWP category?
Plasterboard appears if it was collected as a segregated waste stream, even though it is not listed as an SWP category and no percentages are added for it.
How does the year-to-date report differ from other SWP reports?
The year-to-date report summarises data for each site month by month up to a specified date, providing a cumulative total for the year so far and an all-site summary at the bottom.
How does the report allocate waste to different destinations?
The report uses SWP and grade splits lists, based on percentages set by the client, to allocate the total weight of each category to different destinations such as landfill, recovery, or cycle.
Why are there multiple styles of SWP reports?
There are multiple styles to cater to different client needs, such as detailed itemised reports, summary reports, and year-to-date reports, all using the same underlying logic.
What is the purpose of the main three split types in SWP reporting?
The main three split types (landfill, recovery, cycle) summarise the destinations of waste, providing a clear overview of how waste is managed, regardless of the level of detail shown in the report.
