In 2023, Japan Airlines reported a total waste generation of 2,814 metric tonnes, of which 99.29% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Japan Airlines has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2019, Japan Airlines's total waste generation decreased by 15.5%, including a further 10.61% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Japan Airlines's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2023, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, Japan Airlines’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.
