Londonwide projects

Capital Standards The Mayor in partnership with 28 London boroughs, the Association of London Government (ALG), Transport for London (TFL), London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA), the Metropolitan Police and the Environment Agency have developed a four year programme called Capital Standards. This four-year campaign aims to improve the cleanliness of London Streets and quantify the state of the street environment. Capital Standards includes a full cleansing enforcement and monitoring training package to ensure that borough enforcement staff are fully trained to engage in street environment enforcement activities.
Enhance Enhance helps develop businesses and social enterprises that reduce London’s waste, reuse resources or work with recycled materials. The programme is supported by £4.8 million from the London Development Agency. It provides a free, one-stop-shop resource for information and advice.
Leave no Footprint London Remade has launched, Leave no Footprint, as the solution to London's recycling infrastructure problem. It will expand capacity, create jobs and supply the market with materials ready to be made into new products. The vision is to transform the way waste is dealt with across London. New legislation, increased public awareness of recycling, climate change issues and rising waste disposal costs demand the transition from waste to resource management. Leave no Footprint will help London bury its landfill habit.
London Environmental Support Service The London Environmental Support Service (LESS) is a pan London environmental business support service funded by the London Development Agency. LESS provides businesses in London with a simple way to access environmental information, advice and support and comprises a partnership of environmental support providers.
Londonwide policy The Mayor has published a series of strategy documents setting out his policies for London on environmental issues such as waste, air quality, biodiversity, noise and transport. The Mayor is also developing policies on a range of other environmental issues important to London and has published strategies on water, energy and food.
Mayor of London's Green Procurement Code The Mayor of London's Green Procurement Code is a free green purchasing support service for London based organisations committed to reducing their environmental impact through responsible purchasing. The programme is supported by £3 million from the London Development Agency.

Recycle for London The ‘Recycle for London’ education and promotion campaign, launched in 2003, was designed to provide a simple, single London-wide message to Londoners to increase awareness and participation in recycling.
