Destino Plástico Cero

Reducing Single-Use Plastics in Our Terminals

This is an initiative by Aeropuertos Argentina aimed at reducing single-use plastics in our airports.

It is a path of transformation alongside strategic partners to minimize our environmental impact and plastic footprint.

As key players committed to the sustainable development of our country, we promote sustainable tourism and foster partnerships with the airport community, driving a shared goal by 2026.

How Are We Advancing the Initiative?

In 2022, the Zero Plastic Destination initiative was launched, inviting the entire airport community to a shared goal: reducing plastic use in our terminals.

Since then, we have been working to reduce our environmental impact and plastic footprint across our airports, determining which plastics are necessary and which are not. This helps us identify sustainable solutions for consumers.

Zero Plastic Destination is an initiative by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 aimed at reducing single-use plastics in our terminals. It represents a transformational journey alongside strategic allies to minimize our environmental impact and plastic footprint. As key stakeholders committed to the sustainable development of our country, we promote sustainable tourism and foster partnerships with the airport community, driving a shared goal for 2025.
In collaboration with Unplastify, a consultancy specializing in this field, the initiative was divided into three stages: measuring the plastic footprint, co-design workshops to develop reduction strategies with local businesses, and the final stage of the year focusing on implementing these strategies. The initiative engaged food and retail concessionaires, with more than 50 brands and over 135 establishments joining the effort, spanning 20+ food and retail concessionaires across 11 airports.
To raise passenger awareness, we organized activations at some of our terminals. At Ezeiza Airport, we celebrated World Environment Day, while in Córdoba, during the Global Circular Economy Summit, we partnered with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to promote the #BeatPlasticPollution campaign in our terminals. In Córdoba in September, we engaged passengers with workshops to encourage responsible consumption, featuring an artist who created custom interventions on gifts to promote conscious consumption and the use of reusable water bottle refilling stations.
This is another step in our transformation toward responsible consumption. We invite you to join us in this journey to reduce single-use plastics. Thank you for being part of the change!

In 2023, on World Environment Day, we joined the #BeatPlasticPollution campaign, promoted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), showcasing a series of awareness videos about plastic-related issues through our screen network in various airports.

On International Environment Day, we join the UN's global campaign #BEATPLASTICPOLLUTION.
Lula Gil from Water Journey, using plastics collected from the Río de la Plata, invited us to create art with purpose to raise awareness among our passengers and inspire them to become agents of change.
This initiative aligns with our “Zero Plastic Destination” program, which aims to reduce single-use plastics. To ensure a positive impact on destinations, we promote “sustainable tourism.”

Currently, we have set out to take another step forward by adding three new objectives to what was achieved in 2023:

Scope 1: Continuation of the 2023 work plan for food services and retail.

Scope 2: Conducting a plastic footprint assessment of Aeropuertos Argentina's internal operations.

Scope 3: Training for airline leaders and major stakeholders, including VIP lounges.

Scope 4: Diagnosing plastic usage in Aeropuertos Argentina Cargas.

Our goal for 2024 is to achieve a 20% reduction based on the 2023 baseline.
