28 Mayor of London Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy see it as a key quality of life issue. The Mayor's Ambient Noise Strategy 60 is part of a Europe-wide move towards more active management of ambient noise, mainly from transport sources. The strategy sets out his proposals for reducing noise through the better management of transport systems, better town planning, and better design of buildings. 2.74 Transport proposals, given above, will have a positive impact on London’s air quality and reduce noise. 2.75 The London Plan has established the planning framework by which it is ensured that waste management facilities are designed and located in a way which minimises their impact on air quality and noise, for example through managing and minimising vehicle movements, ensuring their machinery is properly housed, minimising emissions from the process/technologies themselves (for example, through adequate arrestment/abatement plant being specified in the planning approval) and switching to sustainable transport modes and fuels. 2.76 This strategy proposes that any waste that cannot be recycled or reused is turned into energy using advanced waste technologies and wastederived fuels, including hydrogen. Hydrogen used in modified petrol engines produces much lower levels of local air pollutants than diesel or petrol powered vehicles. Fuel-cell powered vehicles also tend to run more quietly than their diesel counterparts and may offer benefits to local communities for night-time working. 2.77 The GLA is undertaking research into the air quality impacts of waste treatment technologies, which will inform the onward implementation of the Mayor’s energy, waste and air quality strategies. 2.78 The Mayor and Transport for London will also work closely with local authorities, businesses and private sector waste management companies (for example, through the Freight Operator Recognition Scheme) to improve driving standards and reduce service noise. Promoting the use of recycled materials could increase their use in noise reduction and mitigation (for example, quieter road surfaces incorporating recycled rubber). Water 2.79 Climate change, population growth and lifestyle changes are all placing increasing demands on London's water supply. Historically the UK has received uniform rainfall throughout the year. However, average household water demand has increased dramatically over the past quarter century and climate change is contributing to the problem, for example, 2005 and much of 2006 were exceptionally dry 61 . ‘Water Matters’, the
Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy Mayor of London 29 Mayor’s draft Water Strategy 62 was launched for consultation in March 2007, and seeks to to ensure that all the relevant agencies work together for an adequate water supply for London, which will accommodate London's future population growth. 2.80 The London Plan has established the planning framework by which flood risk in relation to the location of waste management facilities can be managed, where appropriate. London’s businesses must work closely with the Environment Agency to ensure their operations are compliant with the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control legislation. In doing so, they will prevent water quality being put at risk by pollution from waste management facilities and industry. Additionally, this strategy supports the Mayor’s work to combat enviro-crime and promotes compliance with the Duty of Care legislation, which may reduce the pollution of waterways from litter and fly-tipping. 2.81 This strategy promotes resource productivity and of course water is a resource so the same ideals apply. Producing products that are more sustainable, by preventing waste during the manufacturing process, may indirectly lead to the more efficient use of other resources such as energy and water.
