88 Mayor of London Making waste work in London The Mayor’s Draft Business Waste Management Strategy management plan was and 63 per cent were not aware that site waste management plans could soon become a legal requirement 197 . 4.45 Data collected through site waste management plans could provide the basis for a centralised construction database to improve the understanding and knowledge of the industry’s waste management practices. The database would record the quantities of waste produced, its composition, transportation, management method and location of recycling or disposal facilities. 4.46 Transport for London’s Construction Logistics Plans provide for the detailed planning of construction waste movements to appropriate waste facilities. This is intended to increase the use of sustainable transport modes to move construction materials and waste. Through the Freight Plan it is expected that planning applications for all major developments, along with smaller developments over an agreed threshold, will require the submission and implementation of Construction Logistics Plans. Better coordination of journeys to and from major project sites using the Construction Consolidation Centre in Bermondsey for example, has been demonstrated to 198 : ■ a reduction in the number of construction vehicles that would have entered the City of London and delivered to the construction site by 68 per cent ■ reduction in supplier journey times by an average of two hours ■ increased productivity of the labour force by up to 30 minutes per day. 4.47 Almost half of London’s hazardous waste is from the construction, demolition and excavation sector (Figure 3) such as contaminated soils from brownfield land. Site waste management plans would improve the management of hazardous waste, by identifying the hazardous waste that will arise and specifying how it will be managed. Through the use of technologies, such as bioremediation, contaminated soil can be reused within the construction project thereby reducing associated transport implications.

A building industry standard 4.48 Construction waste is not simply produced by large, strategic development and refurbishment projects. Waste will be produced from small building projects, such as renovation or repair jobs on private households. Clearly, given their small scale, they are likely to be outside many legislative regimes. Although their individual environmental impact is likely to be small, their combined impact will be considerable. In European countries, such as Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium green construction values have been cascaded across the industry through the implementation of standards and quality assurance schemes. 4.49 TrustMark (previously Quality Mark) is a scheme supported by the government, consumer groups and the building industry to help businesses and consumers find reputable firms to do repair, maintenance and improvement work. To display the TrustMark logo the firm must have been checked by an approved trade association or other certification
