75% of airport waste recycled
18.03.11
75% of waste at Cardiff Airport is being recycled thanks to efforts by the airport and partner company MITIE. In January 2011, 0.72 tonnes of card and paper were recycled. This saved around 2880 kilowatt hours of energy in one month – enough to provide electricity for 262 families for a day.
In addition, up to 30,000 litres of water is used when a tonne of paper is produced from virgin pulp, therefore the 0.72 tonnes of card and paper recycled at the airport in a month has saved 21,600 litres of water – approximately the same amount as 30 families would use in a day.
Cardiff Airport and MITIE’s recycling efforts have also prevented a total of 11,534 tonnes of waste being dumped in landfill sites.
