Mangaluru: Mangaluru International Airport Limited has received the highest ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’ certification from the Confederation of Indian Industry, underscoring its progress in sustainable airport operations.
The Platinum – Class I rating was awarded after an extensive audit that found the airport diverts over 99 per cent of its waste from landfills. The certification process, conducted by the CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development, examined waste handling, segregation, recycling and regulatory compliance.
Airport authorities said the achievement reflects systematic adoption of the 5R framework—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle—across its facilities. Measures include reducing waste generation at the source and expanding recycling and reuse channels.
The development comes amid increasing focus on sustainability in India’s aviation sector, where airports are under pressure to meet environmental standards while managing rising passenger traffic.
Experts say such certifications provide measurable indicators of progress and could influence future policy and infrastructure planning. With this recognition, the airport positions itself among facilities integrating environmental goals with operational efficiency.
