Birmingham is the first airport worldwide to implement an MSU solution in partnership with The Green Block and has a commitment to reach recycling rates of 65 per cent. “The MSU installation is facilitating much more efficient segregation of our recyclable materials, with real-time data breakdown allowing us to drive that all-important behavioural change needed to see continual improvements in waste reduction and disposal best practice across the airport.”
“I am delighted to share that just four months into the implementation of this initiative, we have witnessed a significant surge in our recycling rates. In February, our recycling rate reached 68 per cent and in March it soared to an impressive 83.2 per cent. These results are a testament to the effectiveness of The Green Block, Bidvest Noonan partnership, and the dedication of our team to sustainability.
