Singapore Airlines's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Singapore Airlines's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Singapore Airlines reported a total waste generation of 5,318 metric tonnes, of which 7.58% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Singapore Airlines may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Singapore Airlines reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Singapore Airlines's total waste generation increased by 150.26%, including a 60.47% increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Singapore Airlines's waste recovery rate declined by 78.43%, with a further 47.15% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Singapore Airlines is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
