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 />
