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

Over two days in June, it attracts thousands of people with fairground attractions, live music and stalls. Working with Ealing Council and Hounslow Council, litterbins were taken out of use and sets of supervised open bins for all materials, including food, were installed. Latymer Upper School, provided pupils to supervise the bins. At the end of the event, a total of 1,040 kg, including 180 kg of food waste was recycled or composted.

Closed Loop London worked with beverage suppliers DP Cappuccino to ensure their packaging range was able to be recycled. Food suppliers Baker and Spice also used a range of recyclable food packaging. Purpose-built recycling bins were used to capture general waste and mixed recycled materials including paper, cardboard, plastics and cans. Glass generated by the opening night cocktail party was also collected and recycled. Nine tonnes of mixed recycled materials and four tonnes of glass were diverted from landfill, a 47 per cent increase on the previous year. Source: London Remade
Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy Mayor of London 127 Case study 66 - Setting the standard for sporting stadia England’s final test match against Pakistan saw more than 75 recycling stations set up around the Brit Oval in an initiative to capture materials generated during the match for recycling. Following the success of a pilot scheme during the Natwest-Series One Day International against Sri Lanka in June 2006, at which 40 per cent of the waste generated was recycled, Leisure Support Services worked with London Remade to ensure recycling was maximised at the final test match. With expectations that the sell-out crowds at the Brit Oval would generate over 50 tonnes of waste during the five days, the new initiative aimed to ensure the waste was collected for recycling. Catering and cleaning teams underwent special training to ensure that materials were recycled resulting in over 17 tonnes being collected for recycling. Source: London Remade Proposal 32 London’s businesses should use available guidance to implement sustainable waste management practices at their events, including developing and adhering to a waste management plan that addresses waste reduction for example by: ■ using reusable and recyclable materials that incorporate recycled materials ■ providing recycling facilities, including for organic materials. The most sustainable Games ever 5.60 London, host of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, has committed to making them ‘the greenest Games in history’ 275 . The proposals state that London will host a zero-waste, low carbon Games, which will be based on the ‘One Planet Olympics’ principles and will deliver long-term social and environmental benefits to the city. The delivery plan 276 for the Games sets out key areas for delivering sustainable Games, which are to: ■ set sustainability standards, including setting targets for energy, climate change, waste, biodiversity, access, inclusion and healthy lifestyles ■ require independent sustainability assurance by the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012 ■ use the Games as a catalyst for sustainable business and lifestyles: increasing the take-up of sustainability standards in London’s business showcasing new sustainable technologies.
