The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) comprises four Colleges and 16 Academic Schools, which are supported by professional and administrative services, who contribute to the effective running of the University. As a University:

The Centre for Waste Management (CWM) was established in 2002 to provide a focus for existing waste/environmental research, consultancy and course provision at the University of Central Lancashire. The Centre is based within the College of Science and Technology under the School of Forensic and Applied Sciences. We are actively engaged in producing world-class research. Alongside this we have also developed a series of courses which address shortfalls in current training provisions for a range of different needs within waste management.

London Community Resource Network (LCRN) is a charity pioneering community solutions to London’s waste challenge.  We help organisations to engage and involve communities in reducing, re-using, recycling and redistributing resources – for maximum social, economic and environmental benefit.

We work on behalf of London’s leading – and only – network of community-based waste prevention, recycling and re-use initiatives.  This network has unique expertise in behaviour change around waste prevention, recycling and re-use.

Our vision is for London to become one of the world\’s most resource efficient, resilient and sustainable cities.  We aim to make London a place where all communities can play their part in reducing, re-using, recycling and redistributing resources.

Our mission is to inspire and enable Londoners to reduce, re-use, recycle and redistribute resources, for maximum community and environmental benefit. We achieve our mission by acting as London’s leading champion, connector, catalyst and capacity builder for community-based waste prevention, recycling and re-use initiatives. We also operate to divert re-usable items from landfill and incineration by creating collaborative and effective solutions with the public, private, and social sectors.

London Re-use Limited is working to prevent waste in the Capital. We achieve this by re-routing furniture and other bulky items from the waste stream and redeploying them in the circular (or re-use) economy. In addition we have established and co-ordinate the London Re-use Network which comprises like-minded charities and social enterprises operating in and committed to growing the re-use market. Collectively, we have increased the market and demand for re-used items in London and have created many jobs, training and volunteering opportunities.

Our History

The London Re-use Limited was set up by the London Community Resource Network in 2010 after it received funding from the London Waste and Recycling Board.
