1. London’s Dry Recyclables The Future Mary Corin Director of Recycling Development

2. Introduction Situation analysis Targets Solutions

3. Situation Analysis 17% recycling rate – well below national average but still 680,000 tonnes 4 MRFs, total capacity 299,000 tonnes - FULL Lack of joined up thinking –Collection funding –Massive promotional campaigns - £16.1M latest –Organic growth MRFs in progress? Lots of reports and stats. but inertia and lack certainty and innovation in last 5 yrs

4. Value Chain Management – Commodity Trading LA/Suppliers COST Box Bag Twin Bin ? Transfer improve Q COST End Market COST Logistics N&P Mixed paper Metals Plastics Light fraction = E Local Authority Green Procurement Policy Closing the loop Residue MRF Target high value & weight Minimise low value New markets Design Waste analysis EfW COST Glass

5. Grosvenor Speculative MRF – no underpinning 75,000 tonnes co-mingled Doubled to 150,000 November 2004 Holiday influxes Easter! Promotional campaigns – 10% increase on all tonnage into Yard = 20,800 ts/ yr or 400 ts/wk Plastics line – 16 months lead time New line similar but input must be secure to invest

6. Tonnage Growth

7. What we need to achieve 8% more = 320Kts to achieve 25% target 6M tonnes diversion into industry by 2012 - 10 fold increase in 5 years – MARKETS! Increased targets? 2020 = 10.32 M will need to be recycled/composted Lower Carbon economy Drive for cost reduction + greater public participation ie co-mingled MRF technology

8. Statutory Recycling Targets LONDON 17% Government estimate 104 X 40Kts MRF’s required

9. Solutions This is not ‘waste’ attitude – we are part of manufacturing London to be bold Regional partnerships between local authorities and commerce, and the resource management industry Economies of scale - proven 20 – 30 mega facilities in 5 years 150 – 400 hectares of land - identified land – 20 hectares!

10. ‘Ring of Fire’ Government partnerships provide land Super MRFs, based on modular design, and variable shift patterns to deliver 250,000 tonnes based on Value Chain Management principles ie quality matters State of the art technology to extract maximum value at minimum cost Integration with other specialist recovery facilities to deliver value added products, ranging from organic processing to manufacturing of recycled products on site Water/rail transport

11. Economic Regeneration Over 230, mostly skilled, jobs created Over 1.5 million households covered 150,000 tonnes co-mingled capacity, rising to 200,000 tonnes 0.5 million tonnes diverted away from landfill and into manufacturing or higher value use
