SAN FRANCISCO INT’L AIRPORT – The San Francisco International airport is shooting for the skies with a goal of dramatically reducing the amount of waste here on the ground.
“We want to be the first airport in the world to achieve carbon neutrality, zero net energy buildings, and zero waste going into landfill,” airport spokesperson Doug Yakel told KPIX 5. “Airports are really, a microcosm, of the region they serve. An airport ought to champion the values of their region. For our region, there are a lot of values we’re trying to champion, but one of them is really that focus on the environment.
“In 2019, we became the first airport in the world to ban the sale of water in plastic bottles, knowing that at the time, we were selling about 10,000 bottles of water per day,” Yakel said. “In any of the restaurants where you buy food at SFO, if you’re getting it to go, you’ll find it comes in one of these compostable types of packages.”
