In this episode of The Aviation Reporter, Anne Rademaker, Circular Economy Advisor and lead of the TULIPS project, shares how European airports are taking the lead in circular economy innovation. 

She explains that airports can grow while staying resource-efficient by reusing materials, reducing waste, and lowering costs without affecting operations. From reusable cup systems to digital product passports that give construction materials a second life, these initiatives show how airports can serve as living examples of sustainable progress. 

Anne also points out that even when sustainability loses some attention in politics, airports continue to focus on efficiency, resilience, and long-term growth driven by circular solutions.
