Recycling/reusing/reducing: From 2013 to 2018, passenger numbers increased 56% while waste generated at Dublin Airport increased from 3,220 tonnes to 5,107 tonnes (a 59% increase). However, recycling figures have increased substantially from 11% in 2013 to 37% in 2018. Some examples of how this was achieved includes terminal bins, office recycling stations, ensuring that recycling is less expensive than general waste tonnage and influencing improved recycling practices among food and beverage operators.
