Theme 3: Support for Existing Initiatives (including Mayor’s Municipal Strategy) 1 Provide support for the WRAP programme to ensure that start–up assistance and funding is available for SME recycling and processing businesses in London. 2 Provide support to London’s local authorities to advise SMEs about sources of assistance on waste-related matters (as many SME’s seek assistance from local authorities in the first instance). 3 Liaise with the National Health Service (NHS) to consider the implications of the NHS Waste Management Strategy, which is due for publication soon. Consideration should be given to adopting a strategic approach across all London NHS Trusts and to require the specific consideration of waste management issues in all NHS Estates new build and refurbishment works. NB this links with Action 67 in the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Strategy – relating to best practice in the collection of clinical wastes. 4 Provide assistance and advice to Envirowise to ensure that data on the companies in London approaching Envirowise and the nature of their enquiries is compiled on a systematic basis. 5 Provide support for the Mayor’s Green Procurement Code and seek to extend the use of this by encouraging large waste producers to enter into long term recycling contracts using this code. NB this links with Action 80 in the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Strategy – relating to the promotion of the Mayor’s Green Procurement Code. 6 Encouragement should be given to harmonise business waste management activities and for future funding support to be directed to this end. Discussions should be held with relevant trade associations to see to what extent company members can be encouraged to adopt sustainable waste management practices. NB this links with Action 81 in the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Strategy – relating to the promotion of Business Efficiency. 7 The increased use of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) should be encouraged amongst London’s business community, including SMEs in both the commercial and industrial sectors. An assessment of whether the use of EMS and QMS in local authorities is likely to bring measurable benefits. Collaboration with the LDA should 138 Short GLA, WRAP, London ReMade Short GLA, ALG Short GLA, NHS Medium GLA, Envirowise, ALG Medium GLA, LDA, London ReMaDe Medium GLA, LDA Medium GLA, LDA, Envirowise, IEMA
continue. Consultations should be carried out with Envirowise and the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) to determine the level of support that they are able to provide. NB this links with Action 81 in the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Strategy – relating to the promotion of Business Efficiency. 8 The increased use of Environmental Reporting should be encouraged amongst London’s major businesses and guidance and best practice references produced, including the key performance indicators that companies should report on. The use of a centralised database on the social and environmental performance of companies will greatly supplement this process. Theme 4: Raising Producer Awareness (including SME’s) 1 Research should be carried out into the effectiveness of possible incentives to improve the environmental performance of SMEs, rather than costs alone. 2 A reduction in the use of glass, paper, cardboard and plastics should be promoted in the commercial sector, incorporating recycled materials in product procurement. A similar approach should be adopted for furniture and electrical and electronic equipment. NB this links with Action 69 in the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Strategy – relating to education and promotion Theme 5: New Initiatives 1 Develop and implement a programme to tackle any possible increase in illegal waste management activities that may occur from July 2004, after the ending of codisposal of non-hazardous and hazardous wastes. This is likely to include: • Publicity campaign (with a particular focus on SMEs). • Increased surveillance (e.g. environmental wardens, CCTV). • Increased penalties for offenders. 2 Develop and implement a programme of actions as a matter of urgency to mitigate the effects on London’s brownfield site development programme, resulting from the imminent lack of hazardous waste landfills in London. This should include: • Establishment of one or more treatment sites 139 Medium GLA, LDA, Envirowise, IEMA Medium GLA, Envirowise, NetRegs Medium GLA, London ReMade Key GLA, ALG, EA Key GLA, ICE, BRE
