In 2025, Finnair generated a total of 4,155metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 66.67% of Finnair's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 33.36% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Finnair reported a total waste generation of 4,155 metric tonnes, of which 66.67% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Finnair is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2025, Finnair's total waste generation has increased by 13.9%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.a
Over the same period, Finnair's waste recovery rate remained relatively stable.a
In 2025, Finnair generated a total of 4,155 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 3.18% of Finnair's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.96.85% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2025, Finnair's total waste generation has increased by 13.9%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.a
Since 2025, Finnair's hazardous waste generation has increased by 63.23%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..a
