Sustainable Travel

ENSR is assisting Delta Air Lines with a new, comprehensive, on-board recycling program on its domestic flights to Delta's flagship hub in Atlanta. ENSR, part of AECOM, is a leading global environmental services provider.

Delta, America's fastest growing international carrier, worked extensively with ENSR to expand the airline's in-flight recycling program. ENSR helped Delta develop and conduct a recycling feasibility study, establish recycling metrics for Delta's corporate management, and implement recycling procedures for Delta's employees. The recycling program includes all aluminum, plastic and paper products on Delta's domestic flights into Atlanta.

"ENSR did an excellent job in assisting us with our recycling management program," remarked Michael Morgan, Delta's Environmental Services Department Manager. "They were a significant force in ensuring our program was successfully launched and built for sustainability."

Delta's recycling program is an important step in the airline's effort to become more environmentally-friendly. During the first month of the program, Delta recycled more than 18 tons of material. The proceeds of the program will benefit Habitat for Humanity and other
charities.

"Delta's commitment to sustainability makes them a great client to work with," said Tracy Yount, ENSR Project Manager. "Our team effort has resulted in the long-term viability of the program."

As part of the program, ENSR worked with Delta to provide training and outreach programs to flight attendants, cabin services, and catering services staff at Delta's major hub locations. ENSR has been providing multi-media environmental compliance services to Delta since
2004.

The program also highlights ENSR's increasing focus on the transportation industry sector. As part of this enhanced focus, ENSR has recently named Ben Genes, former CEO of RETEC, to lead its efforts in the transportation market. RETEC merged with ENSR in February 2007.
