18 Mayor of London Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy 2B A framework for change The legislative context 2.31 The European Thematic Strategies on the Prevention and Recycling of Waste 30 and on the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources 31 were published in December 2005. By placing waste management within the context of resource management the thematic strategies set out how preventing waste and promoting recycling and advanced waste technologies will strengthen the European economy and reduce the negative environmental impact of using natural resources. 2.32 The government set out its vision for sustainable waste management in Waste Strategy for England in May 2007. The government’s key objectives are to: ■ decouple waste growth (in all sectors) from economic growth and put more emphasis on waste prevention and reuse ■ meet and exceed the Landfill Directive diversion targets for biodegradable municipal waste in 2010, 2013 and 2020 – although the Mayor has questioned the narrow definition of municipal waste applied by Defra, which has effectively prevented the realisation of the directive’s intention, to reduce waste to landfill 32 ■ increase diversion from landfill of non-municipal waste and secure better integration of treatment for municipal and non-municipal waste ■ secure the investment in infrastructure needed to divert waste from landfill and for the management of hazardous waste ■ get the most environmental benefit from that investment, through increased recycling of resources and recovery of energy from residual waste using a mix of technologies. 2.33 There are a wide range of legislative controls on the production and management of business waste, such as: ■ The Landfill Directive (1999) ■ Producer responsibility legislation • Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 • End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations 2003 • Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2006 • Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators ■ The Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations (2005) ■ Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control (IPPC) ■ The Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations (1991) ■ The Animal By-Products Regulation (2005) ■ Controlled Waste Regulations (1992).
Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy Mayor of London 19 2.34 In September 2003, the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Management Strategy 33 was published. It sought to ensure that by 2020 municipal waste no longer compromised London’s future as a sustainable city. Municipal waste accounts for a quarter of the waste London produces. 2.35 In February 2004, the Mayor launched the London Plan 35 ; the Mayor's spatial development strategy. It established a waste planning framework and set regional self-sufficiency targets for all waste streams. Municipal Construction/ demolition/ excavation 2.36 The Mayor’s statutory powers of direction for waste (under part 8 of the GLA Act 1999) are limited to municipal waste, leaving the majority of London’s waste outside the Mayor’s policies and controls. Clearly, to deliver the London Plan the Mayor needs to be given the power to provide a comprehensive strategic framework for all wastes produced in London. 2.37 This strategy fulfils the Mayor’s commitment, first made within the municipal strategy 36 , to produce a wider strategy covering business waste and deliver the waste policies in the London Plan. It is the Mayor’s view that the Mayor should have the powers to produce a statutory business waste strategy 37 . 2.38 Appendix 1 summarises the key legislation, which has been taken into consideration when developing this strategy.
