2012 passes a green test
Following an external audit the system has received the ISO 14001 certificate - a first, it is claimed by Olympic bosses, for a major project of its size. Dan Epstein, of the Olympic Delivery Authority, said: "We have exceeded our target for reclaiming materials from the demolition and clearing of the site, much of which has been used to create the correct land levels and roads within the Olympic Park. "As we move into the construction phase, we have set ourselves another incredibly ambitious target to recover and reuse or recycle 90 per cent of the construction waste. This is unprecedented for a development of this size, scale and complexity. "This demonstrates how we are integrating sustainability into every element of the construction of the Olympic Park and we hope it leaves a legacy for future projects. Newham Recorder LINK : |
