Materials andwaste
We recognise the importance of sustainable waste disposal and therefore remain committed to eliminating landfill waste disposal across our landlord controlled portfolio.
This year we have further increased the proportion of waste diverted from landfill, albeit the absolute level of waste generated is significantly lower than previous years as a result of reduced occupation levels across the multi-let portfolio. Over the year we have seen a -46% decrease in absolute landlord-controlled waste. We have improved the proportion diverted from landfill from 94% to 99% (either via recycling or energy recovery methods). On a like-for-like basis over the reporting period we have seen a -53% decrease in like-for-like disposal. The large reductions in waste generation and disposal are again predominantly explained by reduced occupation as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
We continue our efforts to ensure we improve data capture at our landlord sites and remove landfill waste disposal methods where possible. We are looking to move all waste suppliers to one central provider where possible to allow greater accuracy and comparison across sites. It will also provide us with a greater opportunity to engage with our occupiers over their waste consumption. We are currently in the procurement process and expect to appoint a new provider over the coming year. The new provider will align with our specific targets and Key Performance Indicators regarding 100% diversion from landfill.
