Waste management is key to London’s environmental and economic stability.
London is facing a host of environmental challenges and waste management is no exception. One option for reducing waste is the growth of a circular economy, where items are repaired or reused which would be better for London both environmentally and financially.
Boroughs are already struggling, recycling rates are stagnating, and waste being sent to incineration is increasing. But we also know that London has a wealth of resources to maximise the value and minimise the impact of waste.
On Monday, the Environment Committee will review progress on London’s waste management and move towards a circular economy. The guests are:
- Andrew Dunwoody, Policy and Programmes Manager Waste and the Green Economy, Greater London Authority
- Rachel Ledwith MBE, Head of Community Engagement, The Felix Project
- Sarah O’Carroll, Cities Lead, Ellen MacArthur Foundation
- Ugo Vallauri, Co-founder and Policy Lead, The Restart Project
- Wayne Hubbard, CEO, ReLondon
The meeting will take place on Monday, 15 November 2021 from 10am in the Chamber at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube
