We want to operate and develop Copenhagen Airports with respect for the earth’s finite resources. The general goals and principles for how we intend to work with circularity have been defined and now, we are developing and implementing two-year action plans for each of four resource flows. 2030 is the first milestone in our work with circularity, with one of the targets being to achieve a recycling rate of 60%.
The TRACE partnership aims to support Denmark in reaching its national climate goals for plastics and textiles by 2050. The partners comprise universities, knowledge institutions, and both public and private companies.
Copenhagen Airports is involved in the partnership's textiles track. Here we focus on how we in the procurement of textiles for our own employees can contribute to the transition to better alternatives to the textiles we currently use. Among other things, we test how alternative textiles made from recycled fibres perform in daily operations.
