How Air China reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Air China's total waste generation increased by 391.49%, including a 381.19% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, Air China reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 75.01%, with a further 75.01% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Air China is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.a
