Table 4.1: Arisings and basic composition of industrial and commercial waste produced in London (000s tonnes) (from EA National Waste Production Survey 1998-99) Waste Type Industry (k tpa) Commerce (k tpa) Total (k tpa) % London % England & Wales Inert/C&D 104 48 152 2.1 6.4 Paper and card 378 454 832 11.7 15.9 Food 174 61 235 3.3 9.1 General industrial & commercial Other general & biodegradable Metals & scrap equipment Contaminated general Mineral wastes & residues Chemical & other 1,003 3,208 4,211 59.4 14.9 360 313 673 9.5 7.7 140 86 226 3.2 4.7 154 114 268 3.8 6.7 27 4 31 0.4 0.2 400 62 462 6.5 7.8 TOTAL 2740(39%) 4,350(61%) 7,090 99.9 9.5 4.14. Whilst an indication of source and/or composition is provided in Table 4.1 for a number of waste streams (i.e. paper and card; food; metals and scrap equipment; mineral wastes and residues; chemical and other), together these account for just 1.8 million tonnes or 25% of the total commercial and industrial waste stream. Hence, the SWMAL provides relatively little information on the waste stream or its composition for the majority (i.e. 75%) of commercial and industrial wastes arising in London. 4.15. The Strategic Waste Management Assessment for London also gives information on the movement of commercial and industrial waste within the Environment Agency London sub-region (see Table 4.2). However, the majority (67%) of the movement is unrecorded. Table 4.2 indicates that of the commercial and industrial waste for which the destination is recorded, 378,000 tonnes (i.e. 5% of the total) is managed within London and 1,950,000 tonnes (28% of the total) is managed outside the city. Results from the inter-regional waste movement study between the East of England, South East 22
and London regions currently being undertaken by M.E.L Research should assist in providing a clearer picture of the amount of commercial and industrial waste that is managed outside of London.

Annex 2 of the SWMAL provides a breakdown of commercial and industrial waste arisings in London by sub-region, sector and waste type. The sectoral analysis is based upon the SIC industry codes and is presented for 32 individual categories. The Environment Agency was contacted to discuss this information. They provided a summary of this data, whereby the sectors have been grouped into 14 headline SIC groups by London sub-region. A summary of the Environment Agency data is provided in Table 4.3. 23
