Sustainability in the Airline Industry—Waste Management

Sustainability in the Airline Industry—
Waste Management

IATA has a goal of a 50% reduction in CO2 by 2050, and airlines all over the globe are working on green initiatives to achieve their sustainability goals and reduce their overall carbon footprint. While changing to biofuels is the greatest way for airlines to lower their carbon emissions, weight reduction through lowering cabin waste and reusing/recycling items is becoming a priority.
