136 Mayor of London Proposal Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy Proposal 1 – The Mayor calls on the government to ensure that effective fiscal and legislative instruments are in place to stimulate resource productivity and sustainable waste management among London’s businesses including: ■ a clear commitment to continue to escalate the landfill tax significantly after 2010 ■ a requirement for auditable evidence to support the implementation of pre-treatment requirements for landfilled waste from October 2007 ■ statutory recycling and composting targets and indicators for municipal waste rather than household waste ■ recycling and composting targets and indicators for non-municipal business waste to complement the national target for the reduction of commercial and industrial waste going to landfill ■ statutory diversion targets and measures to reduce the quantity of non-municipal biodegradable waste disposed of to landfill Proposal 2 – The Mayor calls on the government to ensure that: ■ businesses are aware of, and comply with, their producer responsibility obligations ■ the Environment Agency is adequately resourced to enforce the regulations ■ challenging recycling targets are set for producer responsibility legislation ■ the packaging regulations are amended to favour local recycling and reprocessing and carbon positive recycling ■ statutory measures are established to implement producer responsibility legislation rather than persisting with voluntary agreements ■ obligated businesses adequately compensate London boroughs operating schemes for producer responsibility wastes ■ the government and obligated businesses run effective communication campaigns about producer responsibility legislation to raise and maintain awareness of consumers’ responsibilities. Proposal 3 – The London Development Agency will coordinate the provision of information and advice about resource productivity and sustainable waste management to London's businesses by: ■ promoting coordinated advice on resource efficiency delivered primarily through Business Link London, and developing strong links between the relevant delivery provider and other stakeholders including London’s business support programme providers and London boroughs ■ working with the Mayor and partners to deliver a targeted communications campaign to raise and maintain awareness among London’s businesses of resource efficiency and sustainable waste management ■ ensuring their partners integrate information about resource efficiency and sustainable waste management into their business support programmes. Proposal 4 – The Mayor will establish a London business council to bring together London’s business leaders to champion resource productivity and sustainable waste management within a business environment. Proposal 5 – The Mayor expects London boroughs to offer competitive waste and recycling collection services for local businesses, in partnership where necessary, including: ■ recycling services of at least the same materials as their household collections ■ organic kitchen waste collections ■ accepting business waste for reuse or recycling at their reuse and recycling centres ■ actively promoting their services to businesses.
