While they focus on similar waste reduction priorities as other large facilities, airports must contend with a unique set of challenges. Implementing diversion programs requires navigating a complex range of stakeholders, security considerations, operational constraints and layers of authority, all while maintaining an aesthetic standard as the gateway ambassador to the city and region they serve.
This webinar featured three presentations exploring various aspects of planning and managing airport waste reduction programs. In addition to a brief overview of how airport diversion activities are typically organized, our speakers shared best practices and case study examples on topics including using waste data to manage costs and optimize recovery efforts, front and back of house food waste diversion, working with concessionaires and other current trends.
