ENSR is assisting Delta Air Lines with a new, comprehensive, on-board
recycling program on its domestic flights to Delta's
flagship hub in Atlanta. ENSR, part of AECOM, is a leading global
environmental services provider.
Delta, America's fastest growing international
carrier, worked extensively with ENSR to expand the airline's
in-flight recycling program. ENSR helped Delta develop and conduct a
recycling feasibility study, establish recycling metrics for Delta's
corporate management, and implement recycling procedures for Delta's
employees. The recycling program includes all aluminum, plastic and
paper products on Delta's domestic flights
into Atlanta.
?ENSR did an excellent job in assisting us
with our recycling management program,?
remarked Michael Morgan, Delta's
Environmental Services Department Manager. ?They
were a significant force in ensuring our program was successfully
launched and built for sustainability.?
Delta's recycling program is an important
step in the airline's effort to become more
environmentally-friendly. During the first month of the program, Delta
recycled more than 18 tons of material. The proceeds of the program will
benefit Habitat for Humanity and other charities.
?Delta's
commitment to sustainability makes them a great client to work with,?
said Tracy Yount, ENSR Project Manager. ?Our
team effort has resulted in the long-term viability of the program.?
As part of the program, ENSR worked with Delta to provide training and
outreach programs to flight attendants, cabin services, and catering
services staff at Delta's major hub
locations. ENSR has been providing multi-media environmental compliance
services to Delta since 2004.
The program also highlights ENSR's increasing
focus on the transportation industry sector. As part of this enhanced
focus, ENSR has recently named Ben Genes, former CEO of RETEC, to lead
its efforts in the transportation market. RETEC merged with ENSR in
February 2007.
