GVK Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which manages the airport, has introduced and implemented a 360-degree plastic ban as per the guidelines provided by the Government of India. Since the Government of Maharashtra’s statewide prohibition on single-use plastic in July 2018, the airport has said it has collaborated with all its stakeholders including the airlines, concessionaires, F&B and retail outlets, duty-free, aircraft ground handlers and the public and private offices, to eliminate plastic across both its terminals.
The airport has also emphasised the need to reduce, reuse and recycle and has adopted various recycling initiatives to reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment. All the waste generated from airport operations is being collected, segregated at source, stored and disposed as per the regulatory requirements.
“At GVK MIAL we take pride in our values on our integrity, customer focus and passion for excellence, all this by keeping sustainability as our central goal,” said a MIAL spokesperson. “As a global airport, over the years we have implemented various path-breaking green initiatives be it with regards to carbon neutrality, utilisation of solar energy, recycling waste and generating organic compost, releasing a sustainability report as per the GRI standards, among many such initiatives.”
