OUR ACTIONS

Reduce our waste production

Commit to the circular economy Over the last five years, we have undertaken numerous actions within the scope of the circular economy: collection and recycling of work clothing, used books and tensaguides, etc. To mobilise all staff members at our airports, in 2019 we held conferences on this topic as part of European Sustainable Development Week, as well as two "gratiferia", a free flea market, at our Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airports.

to achieve, at our Parisian airports, the rate of 45% material recovery of internal non-hazardous waste (42.4% in 2019): introduction of paper collection containers, printer cartridges and Nespresso capsules, sorting bins installed before and after the screening stations. In addition, the teams at the airports work with the waste management provider and companies that use our services to improve sorting at source, including biowaste. Develop the biowaste system

As such, we want to make the Paris- Charles de Gaulle terminal 4 project a zero waste terminal in operation. In active terminals, a working group bringing together all of our retail and catering operators is actively involved in waste management, particularly plastic waste. The waste management contract at the Paris- Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly Airports will soon be renewed, and several new action levers will be integrated. Recycle our waste By working with our waste treatment service providers, we are improving our sorting and collection processes

company restaurants at Paris- Orly: these oils are converted into agrofuels. A similar system is being tested at the Izmir airport. Another system for treating bio-waste by methanation was set up at all Paris region sites: in 2019, 1,300 tonnes of biowaste were shipped to the Bionerval methanation plant. Meanwhile, the digestates (residues from methanation) were given to farmers, who use them as fertilizer. In Amman, planning is under way regarding composting biowaste.

In the hierarchy of waste treatment methods, waste reduction must take precedence over all recycling and recovery actions. To reduce food waste, we launched a study in 2019 with concession shops and restaurants, inter-company restaurants and the six Groupe ADP restaurants. At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, compactors for directly weighing waste have been installed: these are designed to give us a better understanding of the volume and type of waste produced in order to establish the "polluter pays" principle.

An initial system has been set up to collect food oils from the four

RUNWAY 3 AT PARIS-ORLY: TWO THIRDS OF ORIGINAL MATERIALS REUSED

GIVING OUR UNIFORMS A SECOND LIFE

In 2019, we replaced the uniforms of 3,000 people. Of the 21 tonnes of clothing collected, 18 tonnes have already been recovered and repurposed: 43% was donated to associations processed and repurposed for use in new clothing, 26% was frayed and used as insulation material and just 1% was incinerated. such as the Red Cross and Emmaus, 30% was

The renovation of the 4 km of runway 3 at Paris- Orly was a huge project completed in record time, from 28 July to 2 December 2019. Of the 300,000 tonnes of concrete blocks and rubble on the existing runway, two thirds of the original materials were able to be reused. The other third was stored for future work in the Paris region. A fully- fledged recycling plant was set up on the runway, which prevented traffic amounting to 13,000 semi-trailers.
