The London Sustainable Industries Park (London SIP)

Located on the Thames Gateway, the London Sustainable Industries Park provides space for nine different businesses. The business park is located on a brownfield site that was formerly the Dagenham Ford car factory. The park has excellent communications, including underground connections, the M25 motorway, the City airport and the national rail network.

The first three organisations to locate in the London Sustainable Industries Park include a recycling organisation, a sustainability research organisation and a company that specialises in turning waste food into biogas (ReFood). The aim of the park is that the companies will all work together, sharing resources and ideas and exchanging waste and byproducts. The park has received government investment as it is a good model for future industrial parks.
