4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Downstream risk management systems In France, for non-hazardous operating waste (excluding construction and maintenance waste), Aéroports de Paris SA is aiming for 54% material recovery by 2025 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, and 80% by 2030 at Paris-Orly. At its other international airports, the target for 2025 has been set at 50% of waste recycled into materials. This remains an ambitious target, as not all the countries concerned have the infrastructure and services to enable efficient sorting and recovery of materials. What's more, legislation remains highly heterogeneous. Groupe ADP complies with the various laws applicable in the countries where it operates. In addition to these obligations, the Group's international offices undertake voluntary actions. Queen Alia Airport in Amman (Jordan) has undertaken to: u achieve a recovery rate of its operating waste of 15% in 2023 and 25% in 2025; u stop the use of single-use plastics in the terminal in 2025. With regard to construction site waste from the Paris airports engineering department, the objective of "100% of work sites to be subject to quantitative monitoring of work site waste by 2024" was achieved this year, and the specifications for environmental work site requirements were also updated. The recovery target has been raised to 80% for new consultations from September 2024. At the end of October 2024, the engineering department's recovery rate for work site waste was 97% for 100% of the work sites (more than 60), representing more than 101,000 tonnes of waste generated. This figure represents an increase of 10 points on a volume that has itself been increasing since 2023 (more than 88,000 tonnes of work site waste managed in 2023). In addition to its efforts to recover work site waste and the resources put in place by Paris airports for this management, Groupe ADP, in compliance with the hierarchy of treatment methods, launched its programme for the reconditioning and resale of airport machinery and equipment in 2021. The aim of this programme is to enhance the value of decommissioned movable assets, so that airports without sufficient financial resources to acquire new assets can benefit from them. Operations are prepared at a technical level in collaboration with manufacturers or their approved maintainers and, where appropriate, technical inspection bodies to validate the correct operation of machinery and equipment before resale. Airport Market, a marketplace-style IT platform developed with French start-up ELECOM, went live at the end of 2022. 2024 confirmed the appetite of our 40-plus airport customers for second-hand equipment, and for the second year running saw this programme gain momentum, with sales in excess of €2 million. The footprint has been extended to all continents, with orders in excess of €2 million. These orders are generated by some twenty international airport managers and operators within and outside Groupe ADP, as well as by specialist equipment leasing companies and even local economic players in the Paris region, thereby generating a gain in terms of regional ecology.
Groupe ADP's circular transition policies will take account of these risk management measures to deploy tools and processes to enable this transition: a physical storage/ logistics platform, an IT platform to match sellers and buyers of second-hand goods and an internal organisation to maximise value retention and minimise environmental impact. Examples of sorting/collection/recovery initiatives at Paris hubs: u working with a project management assistant to maximise the recovery of work site waste (see chapter 4.2.4.3. Downstream monitoring and control system for the reduction of virgin raw materials, waste prevention or reduction, re-use targets (compliance with the hierarchy of treatment methods); u gradual roll-out in airport terminals of food waste collection at source from Extime F&B restaurants and airline VIP lounges; u gradual deployment of plastic bottle crushers in airport terminals to empty bottles of their liquid and ensure that they are recycled, gradual deployment of additional sorting on airport waste platforms to correct passengers' sorting errors before consolidation and transport to our partners' treatment and recovery plants; u collection of packaging waste from aircraft (deployed at Paris-Orly, being set up at Paris-Charles de Gaulle): 3,700 kilograms of packaging recycled over 12 months with Easyjet, Air Corsica, Transavia and Vueling. The recovery of waste from international transport is subject to European regulations. This was clarified in September 2024 by the European Union's Health Authority, to enable better capture of recyclable waste; u collection of 10,826 kilograms of prohibited items confiscated from passengers during security screening in terminals. These items are now collected and donated to the Restos du Cœur charity. 74.32% are new; u a one-off operation to collect personal protective equipment and helmets at Paris-Orly during European Week for Waste Reduction 2024 (ADEME-approved programme): 140 jackets and 81 waistcoats with old logos were collected in one week, along with 96 kg of tarpaulins from the opening of Orly 3; u in compliance with regulations, maintenance and construction waste is also collected, sorted and processed and is subject to mandatory regulatory declarations (PEMD diagnostics and waste register for example) but also beyond with the implementation of voluntary waste diagnostics. Work is continuing on other aspects: u maintaining the presence of dock managers in the waste enclosures located in the Cargo area of Paris-Charles de Gaulle to guarantee the quality of sorting; u collecting and recycling 3,300 kg of cigarette butts at Paris-Charles de Gaulle by deploying 185 ashtrays; u twice a year, waste collection operations are organised on the runways as part of World Clean Up Day or European Week for Waste Reduction. They bring together employees from Groupe ADP, Air France, Japan Airlines and other companies in the airport community. Internationally, hubs are also working to implement initiatives such as Jordan's Queen Alia airport, which has embarked on a project to strengthen source separation of waste, particularly bio-waste, with concessionaires (when renewing contracts).
