Original Tender Description
West London Waste Authority (WLWA) is a statutory Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) established in 1986. WLWA is responsible for disposing of waste collected by the London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames. The Authority serves a population of approximately 1.7 million residents across an area of 38,000 hectares.
Waste Authorities have a vital role in enabling a circular economy and supporting residents to adopt more sustainable behaviours. As part of this commitment, WLWA has established a dedicated Circular Economy Team to drive innovative change across the waste sector.
The 'ReActon' Circular Economy Hub forms part of WLWA's wider programme to transform traditional waste infrastructure into modern circular economy facilities that prioritise reuse repair skills development and community engagement.
ReActon Circular Economy Hub is a waste site of the future. A place where residents can access reused items, repair broken items, and learn skills to extend the life of items. Located at a disused Household Reuse and Recycling Centre, ReActon Hub will initiate a host of activity in the South Acton area that supports economic, social and environmental sustainability for the area.
The Hub at Acton is continuing in the legacy of the Greater Manchester Reuse Hub Renew Hub | Recycle for Greater Manchester and represents a pioneering model for London's circular economy in action. WLWA will use the Acton Hub as a demonstrator of the untapped potential of circular initiatives to generate social value, inspiring other Boroughs within the West London Region to work with WLWA to create further Hubs.
