waste by 90 per cent. The food waste is turned into compost that<br />
will be used for landscaping on the Greenwich Peninsula.<br />
<strong>Waste</strong> cooking oil is collected from The O2’s restaurants and sent for<br />
processing into bio-diesel. Cardboard and plastic film, collected from<br />
back-of-house activities, is baled and recycled, as is glass, which is sent<br />
to local processor, Day Aggregates.<br />
Front-of-house recycling is designed to be as easy for the public to use<br />
as possible. So five materials are collected commingled and sent to the<br />
nearby Materials Reclamation Facility owned by Greenwich Council for<br />
sorting and onward reprocessing.<br />

Case study 64 - London festival sets recycling precedent<br />
The annual Bedford Park Festival in Chiswick provides a good example<br />
of how waste should be managed at local events. Over two days in June,<br />
it attracts thousands of people with fairground attractions, live music and<br />
stalls. Working with Ealing Council and Hounslow Council, litterbins were<br />
taken out of use and sets of supervised open bins for all materials,<br />
including food, were installed. Latymer Upper School, provided pupils<br />
to supervise the bins. At the end of the event, a total of 1,040 kg,<br />
including 180 kg of food waste was recycled or composted.<br />

Case study 65 - Early planning limits non recyclable waste at event<br />
A closed-loop recycling programme was successfully implemented at the<br />
Frieze Arts Fair at Regents Park in October 2005. Closed Loop London<br />
worked with beverage suppliers DP Cappuccino to ensure their packaging<br />
range was able to be recycled. Food suppliers Baker and Spice also used<br />
a range of recyclable food packaging. Purpose-built recycling bins were<br />
used to capture general waste and mixed recycled materials including<br />
paper, cardboard, plastics and cans. Glass generated by the opening night<br />
cocktail party was also collected and recycled. Nine tonnes of mixed<br />
recycled materials and four tonnes of glass were diverted from landfill,<br />
a 47 per cent increase on the previous year.<br />
