Our overarching approach to waste is one of resource circularity; from tackling waste at the end of tenancies through reuse platforms and challenging standard industry dilapidation practices, to ensuring our food market at Duke of York Square is single-use plastic free.
Target 6 Zero non-hazardous waste to landfill and 90% recycling by 2030

aste management is split between development activities and estate operations. Volumes of waste vary much more in construction, with a very high recycling rate easily achievable. Here, we are focusing on increased data quality reporting from smaller contractors and development sites and reducing waste generation overall through investment in reuse.

Recycling rates in operations are much harder to improve, with the waste coming from our occupiers and public realm. Here, we are focusing on education and engagement, and provision of the most suitable waste streams to each location – especially targeting food waste as a major source of emissions. In 2021 we saw a 7% increase in the Estate’s operational recycling rate to 45% and maintained a 98% recycling rate for construction waste. We expect to see significant improvements in our recycling rate in 2022 with an overhaul of our waste management strategy, introduction of new waste streams and increase in retailer and restaurant engagement.
