DHL Supply Chain | March 28, 2017
Gatwick Airport and DHL Supply Chain have formally opened a new waste management plant, becoming the first airport in the world to turn Category 1 airport waste, such as food and packaging, into energy onsite.The new £3.8 million waste plant not only disposes of Category 1 waste safely onsite, but converts it and other organic waste into energy to heat Gatwick’s waste management site and power the site's water recovery system. The plant is set to save £1,000 in energy and waste management costs for every day it operates.
