Green Star audits are an increasingly important part of the construction and demolition (C&D) waste industry, particularly for waste contractors and recycling facilities looking to work on Green Star projects. The audits, undertaken in accordance with the Construction and Demolition Waste Reporting Criteria Guidelines developed by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), assess whether waste contractors and waste processing facilities are accurately tracking, reporting and recovering C&D waste. 

Achieving Green Star compliance demonstrates that a contractor or facility has transparent waste tracking systems, accurate reporting processes and compliant resource recovery practices, which is now a requirement for many developers and builders delivering Green Star-rated projects.

As experienced auditors, JEP Environment & Planning undertakes Waste Contractor and Waste Processing Facility audits in accordance with GBCA requirements. These yearly audits assess waste tracking systems, reporting accuracy, facility operations and recycling performance to verify compliance with the Green Star C&D Waste Reporting Criteria. Through this process, waste contractors and recycling facilities can demonstrate transparency, improve reporting systems and become eligible to service Green Star projects.
