Future Actions<br />

Table 7.1: Summary of Future Actions, Priorities, Timeframes and Parties<br />

Recommendations / Future Actions Priority/<br />

Timeframes 1<br />

Theme 1: Data Improvement<br />

1 Develop a data improvement programme for C&I wastes in<br />

<strong>London</strong>. This should build on the national C&I waste<br />

survey data but provide more compositional detail about<br />

those sectors where least information is available. The<br />

programme should include targeted surveys of commercial<br />

wastes that are currently described as ‘general’ and on<br />

industrial wastes to provide more information about the<br />

breakdown and quantities. Due consideration should be<br />

made as to how waste management companies could<br />

provide data on commercial and industrial wastes handled<br />

by customer type, customer size and composition.<br />

NB this links with Actions 5-8 in the Mayor’s Municipal<br />

<strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong> – relating to waste data reporting .<br />

2 Carry out a survey of C&D wastes in <strong>London</strong> to provide<br />

more robust data than is currently available from the<br />

national C&D survey. The survey should include all C&D<br />

waste materials (including soft C&D wastes) and provide<br />

more information about the composition of the separate<br />

construction and demolition waste streams.<br />

3 Monitor the number of consented hazardous waste landfill<br />

sites that become available for use – in July 2004.<br />

NB this links with Action 82 in the Mayor’s Municipal<br />

<strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong> – relating to planning the waste<br />

infrastructure in <strong>London</strong>.<br />

4 Carry out an investigation into the additional types and<br />

quantities of hazardous wastes that will be generated as a<br />

result of the implementation of the new hazardous waste<br />

regulations – expected in July 2005. Use this information<br />

(with the output from action 5) in the development of a<br />

strategy to make <strong>London</strong> more self sufficient in hazardous<br />

waste processing.<br />

5 Approach the Environment Agency for access to their inhouse<br />

database which provides information about the<br />

onsite processing of hazardous wastes in <strong>London</strong>. Use<br />

this information (with the output from action 4) in the<br />

development of a strategy to make <strong>London</strong> more selfsufficient<br />

in hazardous waste processing.<br />

6 Consideration should be given to the future opportunities<br />

that exist to improve the gathering of C&I and C&D waste<br />
