Cabin Waste Management AirAsia has been collecting recyclable items such as plastic bottles, aluminium cans, glass, paper and metal from the cabin since 2017 for AirAsia Malaysia and 2018 for AirAsia Indonesia and AirAsia Philippines. However, this initiative was put on hold in 2021 due to pandemic-related restrictions on cabin waste disposal. Food Waste AirAsia began to track our aircraft food waste in 2019. However, food waste data and trends are not available for 2020 and 2021 due to greatly reduced flight activities as well as Covid-driven restrictions on inflight services. Tracking of food waste data has resumed as of 2022. Food waste generated AOC 2019 2020 2021 Target for 20221 MAA (kg) 304,332 N/A N/A 166,400 IAA (kg) 50,689 N/A N/A 32,000 PAA (kg) 45,977 N/A N/A 38,400 Total (kg) 400,998 N/A N/A 236,800 1 Estimated food waste based on 2022 passenger forecasts. The 2022 target is to cap food wastage at 25% of total consumption Based on 2019 data, food waste across the AirAsia averaged at 30% of total perishable meals inventory. To reduce food waste, an initiative was introduced to improve meal forecasts through analysis of passenger loads and inventory take-up rates. This initiative was temporarily halted in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19-related restrictions on sale of inflight meal products. In 2022, we target to cut food waste to 25% of perishable meals through a new demand planning tool utilising AI technologies to better control wastage. Our priority is to continue to promote pre-book meals. The inflight department is also exploring the option of providing discounts on onboard sales at the end of each day. Water Management The Group recognises that water is becoming increasingly scarce, hence has put in place various initiatives to minimise waste. Given that most Allstars are still working remotely, our water consumption has been reducing. Meanwhile, no industrial effluents were generated from our office activities, and all waste water from sanitary and washing were discharged to governmentoperated centralised water treatment plants for treatment.
