Waste Management in the Aviation Industry

Very basic expectations: grammatically correct, logical, and 

organized. 

Important considerations: information presented should be 

based on scientific references only (e.g.. scientific journal 

articles) and not newspapers/magazines/websites.   

A maximum of  10 pages of  content, i.e., excluding figures/

tables/list of  references/table of  content/cover page.  1.5 line 

spacing, 11 font, Book Antique, and 1” margins.  Try to use 

AutoCaption to help save time.   

Flow of  information – information should be presented in a 

coherent manner in such a way that it is easy for audience to 

follow/understand; 

No fillers – the paper should contain directly relevant 

information and minimal repetition of  information.  Despite 

common belief, the length of  the paper does not determine the 

quality of  your work! 

CONTENT OF PAPER 

ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, BODY, CONCLUSION, REFERENCES. 

Focus on the three components of aviation - Airports, Maintenance Operations, Flight Operations (Airplane). 

Flight Operation (sanitary waste, food waste, disposable goods – plastic wraps, utensils, magazine, paper. [find statistics on waste generated per person/per person]) 

Maintenance – Hazardous, office waste, electronic waste (find certain airlines with statistics, quantifiable) Search Europe airlines with mandatory reports. 

Airports – Restaurants, catering (only a handful of companies), find statistics on catering website, food waste composting, sustainability reports 

Similar approach for all 3 components
