116 Mayor of London Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy Case study 54 - An environmental product range makes green procurement easy Since 1999 the GLA has been buying its stationery from Banner Business Supplies Limited using the OGCbuying.solutions framework. The framework enables the GLA to achieve significant efficiencies in its purchasing by being able to take advantage of a multi-million pound contract. Banner is able to supply a range of environmentally sustainable products through its award-winning Globe & Tick range. In 2005/06, just under 50 per cent of the GLA’s total procurement budget on stationery was spent on Globe & Tick products and they are working together to continually increase the percentage of green products purchased.

A free support service for London based organisations, it drives businesses’ commitment to reducing their environmental impact through responsible purchasing. Developed in 2001, the Green Procurement Code has over 500 signatories 258 from the public, private and third sectors. It works with these signatories to help them identify opportunities to recycle more and buy products manufactured from recycled materials. Case study 55 - Fit for purpose recycled plastic finds widespread application in vehicle manufacture Ford Motor Company signed up to the Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code in April 2003 in line with its environmental priorities to reuse and recycle non-renewable materials and use recycled materials. As part of its environmental commitment, Ford Motor Company has developed a complete vehicle-recycling programme, encompassing design for recycling guidelines, reducing hazardous materials and increasing the use of recycled material. Recycled content plastic is used in 500 vehicle components, diverting 24,000 tonnes of plastic waste from landfill.

In 2006/07, signatories reported 259 a total spend of £181.3 million on recycled content products. The quantity of recycled materials the products
Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy Mayor of London 117 incorporated resulted in carbon savings of over 200,000 tonnes and nearly 500,000 tonnes of waste diverted from landfill. 5.37 On an individual level, these accomplishments represent a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and good business policies and processes. On a Londonwide scale, members of the Green Procurement Code are driving best practice in green procurement and helping to achieve the Mayor’s vision for London as a world leader in green policies. Case study 56 - Major supplier goes the extra mile The James McNaughton Group supplies graphic and office paper, boards and plastics to 4,500 customers in the UK and Ireland. In 2006 turnover was £260 million. Environmental initiatives were introduced to distinguish McNaughton from its competitors. Recycled products account for 15 per cent (approximately £39 million) of total sales, making it the company’s fastest growing product sector. Meetings have been arranged with their suppliers to convey their environmental policy and suppliers are asked to complete an environmental questionnaire. All non-product specific marketing materials are printed on recycled paper and plastic laminating is no longer used, replaced instead by a water based varnish or a biodegradable laminate.

The new Green Procurement Code will offer advice and information on energy and water saving products, in addition to the traditional focus on recycled content products. It will also work with public sector signatories to deliver the key milestones in the Sustainable Procurement Taskforce Action Plan 260 . The Green Procurement Code will manage the needs of small businesses through a range of tools and structured events that will ensure continuous improvement at their own pace. Proposal 27 The Mayor expects all public sector organisations based in London (including government offices, their departments, agencies, schools and hospitals) and London's FTSE 250 companies, to sign up to the Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code. The domino effect 5.39 Green procurement policies enable businesses to engage suppliers in improving their environmental performance, and thereby cascade improvement across several different organisations and sectors.
