90 Mayor of London<br />
Making waste work in London The Mayor’s <strong>Draft</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> Management <strong>Strategy</strong><br />
organisation and found that it meets the standards the <strong>gov</strong>ernment<br />
has set.<br />
4.50 Currently, the TrustMark is awarded to companies that have, for example,<br />
a code of practice that includes insurance and good health and safety<br />
procedures and that an approved scheme operator has checked the firm’s<br />
technical skills, trading record and financial position. The Mayor calls on<br />
TrustMark to include sustainable waste management criteria in their list<br />
of standards. This will increase the number of businesses operating in<br />
London that are taking action to reduce their environmental impact.<br />
Proposal 19 The Mayor calls on TrustMark to include sustainable waste management<br />
as one of its certification criteria.<br />
Construction procurement goes green<br />
4.51 <strong>Waste</strong> generated from demolition and construction activities is only one<br />
aspect to be considered in a construction project. The ability to manage<br />
waste during the lifetime of the building and maximising the use of<br />
recycled materials in the building itself also need to be considered.<br />
4.52 The Mayor’s Sustainable Design and Construction Supplementary<br />
Planning Guidance (SPG) 199 provides guidance on promoting sustainable<br />
waste behaviour in new and existing developments, including providing<br />
adequate waste and recycling storage facilities and supporting<br />
the development of decentralised energy systems, including energy<br />
from waste.<br />
4.53 Budding designers and architects should consider using recycled<br />
materials and design buildings for easy deconstruction as part of the<br />
design process. The Mayor’s preferred standard, given in the SPG 200 ,<br />
is for 10 per cent of the total value of materials used in the construction<br />
to be derived from recycled and reused products and materials, which<br />
WRAP asserts is now common and that levels exceeding 15-20 per cent<br />
can be achieved 201 .<br />
4.54 <strong>Waste</strong> neutrality, where the value of materials wasted is matched by<br />
the value of additional reused and recycled content materials bought,<br />
is a particular opportunity for the construction industry. WRAP is<br />
developing a tool for the construction industry to help them become<br />
waste neutral. The Net <strong>Waste</strong> Method 202 is aimed at enabling developers<br />
and contractors to optimise a project’s design and delivery, rather than<br />
influencing the types of materials used. The web-based tool will produce<br />
outcome-based targets to encourage contractors to consider various ways<br />
of reducing waste and to prioritise those where the business and
