    Solution

    Thiruvananthapuram International Airport has made history by becoming the first airport in India to achieve the Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) accolade. The award is given by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII-ITC) Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development. This recognition highlights the airport's exceptional waste management practices and commitment to sustainability. The airport has managed to completely divert 100 percent of its plastic waste and 100 percent of its municipal solid waste (MSW) , which includes both wet and dry waste, from landfills. The airport has established a sophisticated waste management system that adheres to ISO 14001:2015 standards. This system includes waste segregation, recycling, monitoring, and reduction processes, all operating on a cradle-to-cradle principle to ensure sustainable waste management.
