Carbon Neutral from 2020년 3월 Onward
Delta’s commitment to sustainability is about joining arms to create a better world. The airline’s ambitious commitment to carbon neutrality from 2020년 3월 onward is coming to fruition with swift impact through immediate actions, coupled with long-term investments to combat climate change. These investments will drive innovation, advance clean air travel technologies, accelerate the reduction of carbon emissions and waste, and establish a path to a more sustainable future.
"Connecting the world and protecting our environment for future generations cannot be mutually exclusive. Travelers should not have to choose between seeing the world and saving the world. We must continue to take immediate actions today and can’t wait for future solutions to become a reality. While there are many paths to carbon neutrality, Delta chose to make an impact today and invest in a future where aviation itself becomes cleaner for the world around us."

Delta has undertaken a multi-year effort to achieve more sustainable air travel - from being the first and only U.S. airline to voluntarily cap greenhouse gas emissions at 2012 levels, to retiring more than 200 older aircraft in 2020 and replacing them with planes that are 25 percent more fuel-efficient, to mitigating more than 13 million metric tons of 2020 emissions.

An Ambitious Path Forward
Delta is focusing these efforts on three areas: carbon reduction and carbon removal, stakeholder engagement and coalition building.
Jet fuel is the No. 1 contributor to Delta’s carbon footprint and the chief focus of our efforts to reduce our emissions and manage our environmental impact.
보다 효율적인 항공기 확보
델타항공은 지구 자원을 최대한 활용할 수 있도록 최대한 오랫동안 지속 가능한 항공기 확보에 주력합니다. Over the past year, we’ve retired more than 200 aircraft and are replacing them with aircraft that are 25 percent more fuel-efficient than the models that are being replaced.
탄소 상쇄를 통한 배출량 감소
탄소 상쇄는 대기 중 이산화탄소의 양을 줄여, 지구 온난화와 기후 변화의 주범인 온실가스를 감축시킵니다. To ensure we are fully carbon neutral since our commitment was announced, Delta is addressing 13 million metric tons of its carbon dioxide emissions from March 1 to Dec. 31, 2020 through verified offsets.
항공편 상쇄

대체 연료, 지속 가능한 미래
Delta’s medium-term goal is to replace 10 percent of its jet fuel refined from fossil fuel with sustainable aviation fuel by the end of 2030. Delta has even started executing industry-leading sustainable fuel agreements with corporate customers to support a future of more sustainable business travel.
환경에 미치는 영향력을 줄여 환경 개선
Delta continually assesses all aspects of our operations to minimize what we send to landfills and identify opportunities for material reuse and recycling.
일회용 플라스틱 사용 줄이기
We use compostable stirrers onboard and removed wrappers from cutlery and amenity kits, eliminating 30K lbs. of waste annually. We’re evaluating changes to more single-use plastics through lifecycle analyses.
재활용 가능한 자재 최대한 활용
Since 2007, we’ve recycled more than 3 million pounds of aluminum onboard and, with the rebates, have funded the construction of 12 homes through Habitat for Humanity.
구형 유니폼에 새 생명 제공
In 2020, 50,000 pounds of uniform apparel were sent for waste-to-energy recovery, avoiding the landfill. In 2018, we embarked on one of the largest single company textile diversion programs in U.S. history. 이를 위해 델타항공은 필요한 사람들에게 의류 품목을 기증하고, 직물과 낡은 좌석의 가죽은 특수 제품라인으로 업사이클하고, 남은 자재는 가정용 단열재나 반려동물 침구 소재 등으로 다운사이클했습니다.

PARTNERSHIPS
Delta is partnering with universities, foundations, and others to explore circular economy solutions to waste.
ON-THE-GROUND DONATIONS
A donation program was launched in 2020 to divert food, blankets, amenity kits and other provisioning items to various organizations. 2.6 million pounds of materials were donated last year.
폐기물 제로 스카이 클럽
All Delta Sky Clubs use eco-friendly packaging for to-go foods. MSP, SEA, and SFO clubs are zero-waste, as in 90% landfill diversion. These clubs recycle, compost, and provide eco-friendly food service items.
