Project Information

Managing waste is a critical task for airports of all sizes that presents numerous challenges in implementing efficient and cost-effective practices.

The waste generated at airports encompasses a wide spectrum, including municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition waste, green waste, food waste, domestic and international deplaned waste, lavatory waste, spill cleanup and remediation waste, and hazardous waste.

Addressing these diverse waste streams demands a comprehensive strategy that considers the unique characteristics of each waste type and employs tailored solutions for effective management.
