We published our Waste Management Plan in 2005 and started to implement it on our developments in 2006. In 2006 all our new developments are working towards the target of at least 15% recycled content by value for the whole building.
At our 201 Bishopsgate and Broadgate Tower developments in the City of London the Sustainable Materials Policy included the target of 20% recycled materials usage. Our contractor, Bovis Lend Lease, is working towards this through initiatives such as re-using large volumes of clay from pile arisings to infill, and using concrete with recycled aggregate and recycled steel. The Waste Coordinator also ensures that waste is segregated into five categories for recycling.
On our 51 Lime Street development, working with our contractors Mace, a Waste Coordinator was appointed and a target set to re-use 50% of all works materials. Initiatives to achieve this included the re-use of large volumes of clay from pile arisings.
At our York House development there is a dedicated storage space for recyclable waste.
