Stansted Airport has unveiled a range of new recycling facilities throughout its terminal building, encouraging travellers to play their part in furthering the airport's waste management performance.

"Last year, over 34% of airport waste was recycled at Stansted, a vast improvement from the 22.5% reported in 2007," said Andy Sneddon, head of health and environment at Stansted Airport. "But we're committed to improving this performance even further and have already set ourselves the target to recycle over 40% of airport waste by the end of 2009.

"This is a firm commitment by BAA and one that we are already working towards. An investment of over £22,000 has been made to provide the new disposal units that are being installed in over 30 locations throughout the terminal building, enabling passengers to separate recyclable material from general waste.

"By continuing to improve our own working practices, establishing partnerships with our airline and business partners, and enabling passengers to support our waste management initiatives, we hope to achieve even greater results at Stansted in the future."
