pg. 34 Total Non-hazardous waste is not specified but total non-hazardous landfill waste is given.

"In 2020, we produced 1,417 total tons of nonhazardous

landfill waste from Delta operations alone, a number

largely influenced by decreased operations and

remediation/construction projects."

It has stated it strives to reduce non-hazardous waste through recycling but did not provide any data to support it.

pg. 34 "NONHAZARDOUS WASTE: Delta-generated nonhazardous waste includes waste from operations, maintenance and construction activities at airports and other locations where partners separate our materials and send us waste stream volumes. We strive to minimize waste sent to a landfill through waste reduction and recycling. For example, Sky Magazine was removed from seat-back pockets in 2020, which we expect will save more than 4 million pounds of printed paper annually, based on 2019 fleet numbers, and will reduce Delta’s carbon emissions, due to fuel savings from reduced weight onboard."
