118 Mayor of London Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy London’s vast and growing purchasing power can bring about real and lasting change. 5.40 Success requires businesses to adopt more responsible purchasing practices, which select suppliers based on their commitment to sustainable resource management. Implementing this sort of procurement policy and routinely assessing suppliers based on their environmental performance will support the growth of green suppliers and encourage others to adopt similar practices. Case study 57 - Fast track to waste prevention across the supply chain leads to incredible cost savings After several years of implementing a waste prevention programme at its own sites, Allied Distillers Ltd decided to involve its key suppliers in a similar initiative to encourage resource productivity. Seven supply companies were selected to participate in a waste prevention programme. Training workshops and waste reviews were followed by on-site implementation, and advice from independent consultants, which resulted in: ■ cost savings of £1.2 million per year (overall potential of £1.7 million per year) ■ a reduction in materials use of 945 tonnes per year.

Croydon Council also stipulates that all companies responding to tenders must use recycled content products wherever possible. Increasingly, contractors are required to report on specific environmental performance indicators, including those relating to the use of recycled materials. The Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code is cited specifically in tender documentation to help contractors achieve targets and therefore win the council’s business.
