4.241. For over half of the WCAs that responded, waste is transported using exclusively diesel fuelled lorries. However, four authorities use alternative fuels to a differing degree ranging from using exclusively LPG fuelled lorries, to 10% of wastes transported by a combination of LPG and battery fuelled vehicles down to 5% of vehicles fuelled by LPG. Recommendation 39: It is recommended that consideration should be given to what extent the use of LPG and battery operated vehicles by waste collection authorities would be beneficial, and how such a change could be implemented. 4.242. Only one authority (a UA) undertakes analysis of arisings by customer type and composition at present. A further three authorities have the ability to undertake analysis by customer type (one WCA and two UAs) and size (one WCA and two UAs) and four (one WCA and three UAs) by composition, but they do not currently do so. The majority could not provide this breakdown. Recommendation 40: It is recommended that consideration should be given as to whether certain types of service provision by waste collection authorities are more advantageous than others, and, if so, how can additional support or information be given to such authorities in this regard. Future Trends 4.243. There were mixed responses on questions about future trends. Some authorities expected an increase in total arisings, as well as increases in the proportion of biodegradable matter in wastes, incineration and landfilling, while others thought it would stay the same or, for incineration without energy recovery, that it would decrease. The majority thought that recycling and composting would increase. Most authorities thought it likely that they would meet their obligations under the Landfill Directive. 4.244. Most thought that it was probably not possible for the authority to treat the majority of their wastes within their own boundaries, whilst slightly more thought that this was possible within Greater London. The authorities were split on whether appropriate provision had been made within Local Plans for the future disposal of commercial and industrial wastes that are under the control of the authority. 4.245. Only one new waste management facility had been constructed and become operational since 1986 (with also one refurbished) in any of the local authority areas. Conversely, at present, seventeen plants were proposed or under construction. The GLA should note that there appears to have been a period when investment in new facilities in London was minimal and that we now appear to be entering a stage when there are plans for a much greater number of facilities. Recommendation 41: It is recommended that the GLA in conjunction with all London Boroughs should lobby Government to enable sufficient commercial waste facilities to be provided to handle London’s wider wastes (for example by adopting a similar approach to that of Copenhagen where the municipality has responsibility for the management of all commercial waste, including C&D waste, and sets criteria for the transport and treatment of each waste type; only those facilities and operations that meet the criteria can enter into a contract with the authorities to become designated waste management facilities and operators). 72
Recommendation 42: In order to facilitate the provision of waste management facilities to serve London’s needs, it is recommended that suitable sites for a full range of facilities (ie. not just strategic facilities) are identified in Waste Local Plans in the light of consultation with the Regional Technical Advisory Board (RTAB). 4.246. With regard to environmental management systems, half of the respondents have or intend to develop an EMS although only two have one in place at present. Slightly more than half of the respondents have or intend to develop a quality management system (QMS) in the future, whilst seven have some form of system in place or under development at present (three of which are certified to ISO 9002). Recommendation 43: It is recommended an assessment is made of whether the use of environmental management systems (EMS) and quality management systems (QMS) by local authorities is likely to bring benefits with regard to sustainable waste management and, if so, to consider whether the provision of additional support to the authorities would be useful in this regard. 73
