DELTA’S AWARD WINNING IN-FLIGHT RECYCLING PROGRAM
In 2007, we launched a comprehensive in-flight recycling program to collect and divert aluminum cans, plastic beverage cups, plastic bottles, newspaper and magazines from landfills in 28 U.S. airports and one international location. Rebates from in-flight recycling are donated to the Force for Global Good Habitat for Humanity program.
Between 2007 and 2013, more than 8.5 million pounds have been collected, earning more than $500,000 in rebates -- enough to fully fund five Habitat for Humanity homes.
