London mayor asked to clarify recycling plans

17 March 2010

THE London Assembly's environment committee has asked Mayor Boris Johnson to explain how exactly he plans to reduce the amount of waste produced in the capital.

London generates more than four million tonnes of municipal waste each year. Most of this comes from houses and small businesses.

Mr Johnson believes that, by encouraging waste reduction, reuse and recycling, London will attain a 10pc cut in the waste generated by each house by 2020.

But the London Assembly's environment committee has asked for "clarity and greater details of the leadership role the mayor will play".

It said that "robust and specific proposals" were needed to develop adequate waste-management strategies around London.

Committee chairman Murad Qureshi said: "We need a radical change in the way we manage municipal waste in London as currently far too much is ending up in landfill.

"We welcome the ambitious targets set by the mayor in his draft strategy but we need much more detail and clarity on some of the proposals so we can be confident that these goals can be met."
