128 Mayor of London Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy 5.61 There is an opportunity for London, through the delivery of the Games, to lead by example in reducing waste and using resources more sustainably, including: ■ reducing waste in construction and demolition, particularly in the use of temporary structures and prioritising on-site waste management ■ maximising the scope for the reuse, composting, recycling and recovery of waste, at each phase of the Games and their legacy ■ minimising merchandising, marketing and catering waste. Where it is produced, ensuring it is recyclable and incorporates recycled materials. Case study 67 - Olympic Park sets construction recycling standards Over 95 per cent of 10,827 tonnes of demolition materials from the Olympic Park is being recycled or reused so far, beating the 90 per cent target set out in the Olympic Delivery Authority’s (ODA) Sustainable Development Strategy earlier this year. Over 9,823 tonnes of the materials from the demolition of buildings on the Eton Manor and Clays Lane areas of the Olympic Park has been sorted and prepared for reuse on site. A further 638 has been recycled or reclaimed off site, including timber turned into chipboard, plasterboard turned into gypsum powder and steel recycled as scrap. Of 9,823 tonnes of demolition materials: ■ 176 tonnes of timber recycled for chipboard ■ 326 tonnes of metals reused as scrap ■ 30 tonnes of plasterboard turned into gypsum powder ■ 106 tonnes of general waste recycled (plastic bottles, cans, tyres, etc).

Designers will incorporate recycled materials into the Olympic Park, such as: ■ 9,741 tonnes of crushed brick and concrete ■ 70 tonnes of Yorkstone walling ■ 10 tonnes of reclaimed London stock bricks ■ 2 tonnes of roofing tiles.

Source: ‘London 2012 – Sustainability strategy launched’ press release 23 January 2007 ’Olympic Park clean up beats green targets’ press release 17 April 2007 Proposal 33 The Mayor will support the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012 to act as an independent assuror of the sustainability of the waste related activities of the Olympic Delivery Authority and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to ensure that the 2012 Games are the most sustainable ever. This will be achieved, for example by: ■ achieving the London Plan reuse and recycling targets for all strategic developments ■ achieving the recycling and composting targets for all waste produced during the Games and ensuring infrastructure is developed to ensure this target is met throughout the Games’ legacy ■ implementing BS 8901: Specification for a sustainable event management system ■ adopting the GLA group responsible procurement policy and achieving the highest levels of the Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code.
