The nature of Finnair Catering's operations means that the reduction and utilization of the quantity of waste generated by catering production are the most significant environmental issues. New environmental targets were specified in spring 2002.

The basic idea is to reduce the quantity of expensive mixed waste and to improve the sorting and recycling of waste. Sorting increases labour costs to some extent, but its development is justified owing to the income received from sorted waste and the lower handling fees payable for it.

At the moment Catering has the capacity to supply for recycling plastic dishes, serving trolleys, aluminium cans, cans made of other metals, cardboard, glass, plastic bottles and to some extent also packaging cartons, which are used primarily on Finnair's domestic flights.
