Apply best waste management practices

The ZWL assessment has proven that CSMIA has implemented best waste management practices through waste segregation, recycling and recovery systems. It has successfully diverted major waste streams such as plastic waste, wet and dry waste, as well as other recyclables from going to landfills. This assessment in FY 2025-26 is in line with ZWL’s objective of minimizing waste generation and maximizing waste treatment. Primary sources of airport waste include food, plastic, paper and operational waste.

Well organized infrastructure support

CSMIA has implemented a proactive and value chain-driven approach based on the ‘5R’ principles (Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle, Recover). This has significantly reduced reliance on dumping grounds and improved waste recovery. This includes segregation of waste at source, recycling, monitoring and continuous reduction of waste, supported by a dedicated environment and sustainability team, as well as well-organized infrastructure for waste collection and transfer to authorized recycling centres.

Also includes ACA Level 5 Carbon Certification

The honor reflects CSMIA’s global sustainability leadership, including ACA Level 5 carbon certification. Over the past year, the airport has accelerated its sustainability plan through key initiatives such as 100 per cent renewable energy use, over 40 per cent improvement in energy efficiency, electrification of the ground vehicle fleet, expansion of energy-efficient technologies and empowerment of ESG governance.
