What are the plans for a greener future in South West London?

All the local authority areas including those in south west London now agree that the linear economy is unsustainable, and with London's landfill capacity set to run out by the end of 2026, crucial steps need to be taken to manage waste and ensure that as much of it is diverted from landfill as possible. The South London waste partnership MRF (materials recovery facility) at Beddington is a great example of how 100% of non-recyclable materials can be kept out of landfill using modern technological solutions that use waste to generate fuel and electricity, powering the facility itself as well as thousands of homes across the capital.

The South London Waste Partnership (SLWP) which consists of the boroughs of Sutton Kingston upon Thames Croydon and Merton have been able to use joint funding to open a recovery facility in Sutton Which recovers energy from non-recyclable waste that would previously have gone into landfill. They also carry out several local initiatives to spread awareness on the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling waste, and to communicate their strategies to residents moving forward. The South London Waste Partnership website provides more information, including details on recycling and composting targets across the boroughs to treat residual waste, and improvements to the household reuse and recycling centres (HRRC’s) managed by Veolia on behalf of the SLWP.
