Mangaluru International Airport Limited (MgIAL) has received the Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) certification from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

The airport has been awarded the Platinum – Class I rating, the highest category under the certification, after demonstrating an exceptional landfill diversion rate of more than 99% through robust waste management practices and strict adherence to sustainability benchmarks, a release from MgIAL said on Thursday.

The certification follows a comprehensive and rigorous audit conducted by the CII, which evaluated the airport’s waste segregation, handling, treatment, recycling, and compliance processes. The assessment recognised MgIAL’s consistent implementation of the 5R principles – refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose and recycle – across airport operations.
