Liquid disposal bins
Terminal Interventions
Throwing away a half-full bottle at security looks harmless. But liquids ending up in the plastic waste stream add weight, cause leaks and make recycling less efficient. Liquid bins to the rescue!
Athens International Airport and Brussels Airport installed dedicated liquid disposal bins at security checkpoints. Passengers can empty their bottles first, then throw the plastic away separately.
A small and easy action, with a big practical effect: less liquid in the waste stream, lighter waste and a better chance that plastic can be recycled properly.
