86 Mayor of London Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy a far higher proportion of materials, such as wood, glass and bricks, could be recovered for reuse. 4.39 The Institute of Civil Engineers’ Demolition Protocol provides a mechanism for the effective reuse and high value recycling from demolition projects as well as the procurement of recycled and reclaimed materials in construction. Leading companies in the industry have already demonstrated that waste reduction and recycling delivers worthwhile savings. The adoption of such protocols would benefit from a more consistent approach across London in order to effect wholesale behaviour change among private sector contractors. The Mayor will ensure that business support programmes funded by the LDA are consistent in the provision of advice. Case study 29 - Effective planning increases material recovery During the redevelopment of Wembley stadium, Brent Council and the developer Quintain used the Institute of Civil Engineers’ Demolition Protocol to prevent waste and maximise the reuse of recycled aggregate. Brent was the first London council to integrate the protocol into their supplementary planning guidance. The protocol provides a framework methodology to help development teams ensure that the potential for procuring recovered materials, as well as the recovery of materials from demolition (and refurbishment) has been effectively considered and targets set.

An estimated 30 per cent cost saving was achieved through using 80,000 reclaimed bricks and 300m2 of wood block flooring. Source: The Building Research Establishment Case study 31 - Tackling resource management early in the development process led to significant reuse and recycling Whilst working on the Barts and The London New Hospitals Programme, Skanska undertook a pre-demolition waste audit. This identified items that could be salvaged or recycled. They then developed a materials and waste tool, to monitor progress towards meeting the project target of 95 per cent resource productivity, per trade contractor and per material stream.
Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy Mayor of London 87 Taking these steps resulted in more than 92 per cent of the demolition wastes being reused or recycled. This equated to over ten and a half thousand tonnes of material being diverted from landfill. The project team realised that by considering resource management issues at an early stage, they were able to use their existing expertise to innovate and improve the project’s environmental and economic performance. Source: London Sustainability Exchange Planning for site waste 4.40 A site waste management plan details the amount and type of waste that is expected to be produced on a construction site and how it will be reused, recycled or disposed of. The plan is updated during the construction process to record how the waste is managed and to confirm the disposal of any materials that cannot be reused or recycled. 4.41 Site waste management plans can improve resource efficiency within the construction industry by reducing the amount of waste produced and recovering as much as possible of the remainder. They should simplify the administrative burden on the construction sector as they provide a mechanism for ensuring compliance with legal requirements, such as the duty of care, hazardous waste, waste carrier and waste broker controls. 4.42 The government has consulted 195 on proposals to make site waste management plans mandatory for construction, demolition and excavation projects over £250,000, with more detailed requirements for projects over £500,000. 4.43 The Mayor expects planning authorities’ development plan documents to require developers to produce site waste management plans for any developments, including projects under £250,000 196 . This will ensure effective waste management is planned into construction projects as early as possible and will mainstream waste prevention, reuse and recycling in the construction industry. 4.44 The Environment Agency, through its Netregs website, has launched a site waste management plan campaign, ‘Site Waste – It’s Criminal’, in response to its recent survey of small businesses in the construction sector, which found almost a quarter of respondents had never introduced any practices that prevent harm to the environment and more than half admitted that although they try their best, they could work harder at being environmentally friendly. Most concerning was that two thirds of respondents (66 per cent) said they did not know what a site waste
