Waste visibility for complex airport operations

WATS helps airports manage waste like critical infrastructure, delivering terminal-level visibility, concessionaire accountability, cost control, and defensible sustainability reporting.

Airport Waste Is Operationally Complex

Airports are not single buildings. They are ecosystems.

• Multiple terminals

• Airlines, concessionaires, lounges, and more

• Janitorial contracts

• Public-private governance

• Diverse waste vendors and waste streams

• Highly visible sustainability goals

Pressure is increasing:

• Zero waste commitments

• Public sustainability reporting

• Regulatory mandates

• Municipal oversight

Yet waste data still lives in vendor invoices and spreadsheets.

Waste performance varies by terminal, operator, and event volume, but most airports lack standardized visibility across stakeholders.

Problems We Solve

No Terminal-Level Visibility
Most airports cannot compare waste cost or diversion performance by loading dock, terminal, concession group, or operational zone.
Concessionaire Blind Spots
Airports often lack structured data to benchmark food & beverage operators or enforce sustainability standards.
Manual Reporting Burden
Sustainability teams spend weeks reconciling inconsistent vendor data for internal reporting and public disclosures.
Vendor & Contract Inefficiency
Without normalized data, service optimization and pricing validation are difficult. Event & Volume Variability Passenger traffic fluctuates. Waste service levels often don’t adjust accordingly.

How WATS Works for Airports

Waste becomes measurable infrastructure, not fragmented data.

We Collect the Data
Invoices, service levels, and diversion reports, across terminals, vendors, and concessionaires.
We Standardize It
Consistent structure across terminals, operators, and vendors.
We Surface Insights
Loading dock and terminal-level diversion, concessionaire performance comparisons, service level mismatches, pricing inconsistencies, and contamination trends.
You Take Action
Optimize service levels. Improve diversion programs. Strengthen concession agreements. Deliver transparent public reporting.
