Organizers Commit to C&D Recycling for 2012 Olympics

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) of London has announced that it has set a 90 percent recycling goal for the construction material generated during the building of the London 2012 Olympic Park, venues and infrastructure.

The ODA has awarded a contract to Veolia Environmental Services, which will establish a waste management service and waste consolidation center on the site, according to a press release from the ODA. Any debris generated by construction activities will be recovered and reused or recycled and diverted from landfill.

Movements of material by water will be a key aspect of the management contract, and any material not able to be reused on site will be taken to external licensed facilities for further processing.
