Alaska Air Group diverted enough aluminum last year to build 3 new airplanes.
Specifically, Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air in flight recycling programs diverted more than 800 tonnes of waste from landfills including 230 tonnes of aluminum and 185 tonnes of paper.
Mr Brad Tilden president & CEO of Alaska Air Group said that "Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air strive to be good airlines for our customers, good places to work for our employees, a good business for our investors and environmental stewards of our planet. Our 2012 sustainability report comprehensively documents our corporate social responsibility efforts and provides a platform for collaboration and continued improvement as we seek to lead the airline industry in environmental stewardship."
