Annual Report 2020

Cabin Waste Management At AirAsia Malaysia, the cabin crew separates waste at the end of every flight and places the recyclable items in green-coloured plastic bags, which are collected by the Ramp staff and transferred to recycling bins or storage provided by appointed waste management companies. Once the recycle bins are full, the waste management company engages a recycling vendor to collect the items. The vendor weighs the items, separates them and sends them for recycling. The waste management company sends its collection data periodically to the Sustainability Department.

Recycling of cabin waste began in Malaysia in 2017, followed by the Philippines and Indonesia in 2018, then Thailand in 2019. Cabin Crew Uniform Starting from early 2021, AirAsia Philippines began the process of recycling crew’s used uniforms as part of efforts to reduce waste to landfill as well as the cost of disposal. To this end, the Cabin Crew Department issued an SOP to determine which uniforms can be sold for upcycling, and the subsequent processes. Uniforms that cannot be reused are scrapped. Based on the success of this initiative, AirAsia Malaysia will establish similar uniform recycling procedures. 117 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
