London Waste Reduction and Recycling Plans for Boroughs

London local authorities have developed waste Reduction and Recycling Plans (RRPs) setting out key actions for minimising waste and boosting recycling locally. The RRPs are used to drive local activity to help achieve the Mayor’s London-wide targets to cut food waste by 50 per person and achieve 65 per cent municipal waste recycling by 2030. The dataset is provided by the Greater London Authority.
