2. Introduction • Situation analysis • Targets • Solutions

3. Situation Analysis • 17% recycling rate – well below national average but still 680,000 tonnes • 4 MRFs, total capacity 299,000 tonnes - FULL • Lack of joined up thinking • Collection funding • Massive promotional campaigns - £16.1M latest • Organic growth • MRFs in progress? • Lots of reports and stats. but inertia and lack certainty and innovation in last 5 yrs

4. Value Chain Management – Commodity Trading End Market Design Design Design Design N&P COST COST COST COST Waste analysis LA/Suppliers Mixedpaper • MRF • Target high value & weight • Minimise low value Logistics Box Transfer improve Q Metals LocalAuthority Green Procurement Policy Bag Plastics Glass Twin Bin Residue Closing the loop Light fraction = E EfW ? New markets

5. Grosvenor • Speculative MRF – no underpinning • 75,000 tonnes co-mingled • Doubled to 150,000 November 2004 • Holiday influxes • Easter! • Promotional campaigns – 10% increase on all tonnage into Yard = 20,800 ts/ yr or 400 ts/wk • Plastics line – 16 months lead time • New line similar but input must be secure to invest

6. Tonnage Growth

7. What we need to achieve • 8% more = 320Kts to achieve 25% target • 6M tonnes diversion into industry by 2012 - 10 fold increase in 5 years – MARKETS! • Increased targets? 2020 = 10.32 M will need to be recycled/composted • Lower Carbon economy • Drive for cost reduction + greater public participation ie co-mingled • MRF technology

8. Statutory Recycling Targets Government estimate 104 X 40Kts MRF’s required LONDON 17%

9. Solutions • This is not ‘waste’ attitude – we are part of manufacturing • London to be bold • Regional partnerships between local authorities and commerce, and the resource management industry • Economies of scale - proven • 20 – 30 mega facilities in 5 years • 150 – 400 hectares of land - identified land – 20 hectares!

10. ‘Ring of Fire’ • Government partnerships provide land • Super MRFs, based on modular design, and variable shift patterns to deliver 250,000 tonnes based on Value Chain Management principles ie quality matters • State of the art technology to extract maximum value at minimum cost • Integration with other specialist recovery facilities to deliver value added products, ranging from organic processing to manufacturing of recycled products on site • Water/rail transport

11. Economic Regeneration • Over 230, mostly skilled, jobs created • Over 1.5 million households covered • 150,000 tonnes co-mingled capacity, rising to 200,000 tonnes • 0.5 million tonnes diverted away from landfill and into manufacturing or higher value use
