Sharing good waste reducing practices@ANA Airport Portugal in order to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste

In our 10 airports we manage a diversified and significant amount of waste, produced by us, by the handlers, the airlines companies, airplanes, concessionaires, passengers and all the visitors. All together we managed up to 9000 ton in 2019. This is a challenge we embrace every day, in order to correctly manage it and implement strong sensibilization campaigns in order to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste. In our biggest airports we have achieved a valorization rate up to 92% of all waste produced, that include material and energy valorization.

For this EWWR we developed an video to support a campaign in social media in order to share our good waste management practices and conduct all to decrease waste production, to reuse more and waste less and to increase the sorting at source in order to support our recycle rate, because we all live / use our airports and we all must be committed to a better environment.

It’s a global campaign that will be shared in our intranet and also shared in our YouTube page (channel ANA Aeroportos), Facebook airport’s page and Instagram (Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Madeira and Azores) as also our LinkedIn page (ANA).

Also, we will be installing a poster in Porto Airport where we will be presenting  this Airport waste circuit – since it’s produced in our airport until it leaves, for a suitable final destination mainly valorization.
