MP Smarter Travel to deliver ‘Smart Freight’ restaurant waste consolidation

The Ultra Low Emission Zone: a key achievement of the air quality narrative

STAMP represents residents and businesses in the Shad Thames area, and has commissioned MP Smarter Travel to reduce the impact of freight vehicles in the historic district. With a micro-budget provided by the Neighbourhoods Fund, MP Smarter Travel recommended a waste supplier consolidation programme targeted at restaurants, bars and cafés to minimise redundant vehicle trips. MP Smarter Travel is responsible for meeting with business managers, understanding which operators they use, identifying a preferred waste operator, and supporting businesses switching to the preferred operator.
