In 2023, United Airlines Holdings reported a total waste generation of 59,025 metric tonnes, of which 15.6% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that United Airlines Holdings may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Since 2019, United Airlines Holdings's total waste generation increased by 9.65%, including a 134.45% increase in 2023, 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, United Airlines Holdings's waste recovery rate remained relatively flat, but declined by 35.73% in 2023, potentially pointing to emerging inefficiencies or short-term disruptions in recovery efforts.
Overall, United Airlines Holdingsās 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.
