Who we are

ReLondon is a partnership of the Mayor of London and the London boroughs to improve waste and resource management and transform the city into a leading low carbon circular economy.

What we believe

We are living through a climate emergency. We believe we can catalyse transformational change in London by inspiring and empowering the action of others. We can mobilise our boroughs, businesses and citizens to change their policies, practices and behaviours, to revolutionise the way we use stuff.

Together we can change the world.
