Making waste work in London The Mayor’s <strong>Draft</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> Management <strong>Strategy</strong><br />
Case study 27 - East end pub sets recycling and composting target<br />
Working with the London Sustainability Exchange, a pub in East London<br />
has sought to dramatically improve its recycling and composting rate.<br />
With an annual turnover of £888,000, the pub already benefits from<br />
recycling over 200 wheelie bins of glass each year. Currently spending<br />
over £4,000 each year on waste disposal, following an audit, additional<br />
materials have been identified that could bring the recycling rate up to<br />
15 per cent, generating savings of up to £600. Approximately six per<br />
cent of the waste that is left after recycling is food waste, which by<br />
investigating on-site or community composting opportunities could<br />
save the pub a further £200 each year.<br />

Proposal 17 London’s businesses should conduct waste audits to:<br />
■ establish waste prevention and reuse systems<br />
■ identify the materials streams that they can recycle or compost<br />
and seek recycling and composting services alongside their waste<br />
management contracts.
