About

The London Waste and Recycling Board (LWARB) was established in 2007 by the Greater London Authority (GLA) Act to provide a strategic approach to waste management in London. LWARB delivers three key programmes, one of which is Circular London. This programme works to create the right conditions for circular economy businesses to flourish in London. An economic analysis of the circular economy in London demonstrates the potential for net benefits to the city of up to £7 billion a year by 2036.

The route map was created with input from across a wide variety of stakeholders, and as a result, a variety of stakeholders beyond LWARB have committed to assisting with delivery of specific actions within the route map. For example, universities and industry partners have committed to promoting circular economy in education courses or to promoting and encouraging innovation within their areas of influence.
