Hyderabad Airport launches waste recycle machine




Hyderabad International Airport Ltd., which operates the Rajiv  Gandhi International Airport, has installed two machines as a pilot project for crushing plastic PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, steel/ aluminium cans and plastic bags in an Eco-friendly way for recycling purposes. In association with Wild West Media, an agency that provides these machines, the airport has started the pilot with the installation of two such machines in the airport. The project is being steered under the umbrella of the airport’s signature “Passenger is Prime” program with the objective to inspire people to contribute towards environmental sustenance. Passengers will get the option to either make a donation or claim a discount coupon in return for depositing their empty plastic water bottles/ bags/ metal cans in the crushing machine. RGIA is also the first airport to have its own composting plant, which processes the food waste generated at the airport. One of the busiest airport in India, It currently receives more than 40,000 passengers on a daily basis and has over 5,000 staff working round the clock in Shifts. These refrigerator-sized machines on wheels are able to crush a large number of plastic PET bottles or steel/aluminium cans in a day. These crushed waste materials are then collected for the next level of recycling and re-use. Every machine is manned by a trained professional to assist people in using the machine.
