London Wider Waste Strategy - London - Greater London Authority

for contaminated soils within London.
• Consideration of the time delay associated with
the on-site treatment of contaminated soils
and the increased costs of brownfield site
development.
• Promotion of contaminated land treatment
technologies.
• Information dissemination to developers and
contractors.
3 Develop and implement a programme to assist SMEs with
the management of their hazardous waste. This should
include:
• An awareness raising campaign about
hazardous waste.
• Provision of interim storage solutions for easily
handled low volume packaged hazardous
wastes.
4 Develop and implement a strategy to encourage the
development of a hazardous waste processing industry in
London, especially in light of the likely lag time associated
with the planning process and public attitudes of NIMBY.
This should build on London’s existing industry and take
account of the likely type and quantity of new hazardous
wastes under the new definition (from July 2005).

Waste Strategy – relating to planning the waste
infrastructure in London.
5 Liaise with WRAP, the LDA and London ReMaDe to review
the prioritisation accorded by these organisations to
particular waste streams for recycling and reprocessing.
Use the results of this as input into the Wider Waste
Strategy and consider setting education and recycling
targets for each as part of the Strategy.

Waste Strategy – relating to developing markets for
recyclable materials.
6 Consider how to influence Government to adopt, those
measure that have been effective in achieving high
recycling rates of C&D wastes in other European Member
States, such as:
• banning / partial banning of landfill of C&D
wastes.
• requiring separation and re-use/ recycling of
