Notice Title

The Provision of Temporary Structures at ReActon Circular Economy Hub for West London Waste Authority

Notice Description

Introduction 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 In partnership with Ealing Council, WLWA is developing the ReActon Circular Economy Hub- a waste and reuse site of the future. Located at a former Household Reuse and Recycling Centre in South Acton, the Hub will provide facilities where residents can access and purchase reused items, repair broken goods, learn skills to extend product lifetimes, and participate in activities that support environmental, social, and economic sustainability in the local area.
