Denver International Airport rolled out a pilot waste management program in Concourse B in hopes of significantly reducing how much waste goes to landfills. The Zero 91²Ö¿â Valet program is part of the DIA’s Vision 100 plan to prepare the airport to one day serve 100 million passengers annually.
âPart of that vision is sustainability and resiliency. The goal to become the greenest airport in the world is towards that end to really accomplish that goal and set our airport apart,â said Alexa Rosenstein, sustainability specialist at the airport. âIt’s super inspiring and gratifying to be able to work here and to know that the largest economic engine for our entire state has prioritized this initiative.â
DIA partnered with the compost company Scraps and launched the Zero 91²Ö¿â Valet program in June. Under the program, Scraps separates the waste, recycling and compostable items from participating restaurants and businesses in Concourse B.
