ReLondon is the body that sits behind London’s effort to become a circular city. It is a partnership between the Mayor of London and the capital’s boroughs, created to improve waste and resource management and help the city move toward a low-carbon, zero-waste economy. Its public mission is straightforward: make London a global leader in sustainable ways to live, work and prosper by helping people and institutions waste less and reuse, repair, share and recycle more.
The organisation works across London, supporting boroughs, businesses, communities and residents. Its activity spans local government support, business engagement, public behaviour change and practical guidance on circular economy policy. ReLondon also makes resources available to local authorities, including case studies, reports and toolkits. Among its focus areas are improving recycling and waste services, helping businesses test more circular models, and encouraging Londoners to reduce consumption and extend the life of products.
Several of its recent outputs show the scope of its work. ReLondon has published reports on London’s fashion footprint and packaging footprint, assessing material flows, emissions and opportunities for climate action. It has also been active in textiles, where it has set out a vision for London to become a global hub for circular fashion and textiles by 2030, with work on reuse, repair, local sorting and recycling infrastructure.
ReLondon is a statutory body and is chaired by the Mayor of London or a representative. The page metadata indicates it was published in late 2020, and the organisation operates from London, serving the capital’s circular economy agenda.
