London’s city Waste and Recycling Board will launch a new service that will aim to help waste plant developers find the resources they need. The website will match developers with technology manufacturers that can help realise the facility.
For example, the search engine on the site will help a developer with an idea for an anaerobic digestion plant meet up with someone who has the technology for AD processing. The waste brokerage service should be launched sometime in September, according to the London Waste & Recycling Board.
The site will also feature interactive maps and technology to give site brokers and technology manufacturers better knowledge of the interlinking issues involved in navigating the city’s waste requirements. The maps will search for specialised factors like brownfield sites and demand by categories like heat, recyclate, and electricity.
According to Charlotte Eddington, a board member, the site will include various opportunities and constraints affecting the city’s waste infrastructure development. Until now, many have claimed that the board focused primarily on implementing protocol and procedure, but now the new website will aim to help developers take advantage of new opportunities.
The board also announced that they would begin to aggressively research reuse opportunities, which is often overlooked in replace of recycling. Additionally, the board announced plans to improve upon recycling rates in flat residences.
Wayne Hubbard, board member, said that there were gaps in provisions regarding infrastructure, but that the priority remains to drive down landfill. Currently, the target it to have London at zero waste sent to landfill by 2025.
